On November 24, 1922, the United States attorney for the Southern District?
of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and con??
demnation of 29 barrels of vinegar at Newark, Ohio, consigned by the Powell?
Corp., Canandaigua, N. Y., on or about October 4, 1922, alleging that the article?
had been shipped from Canandaigua, N. Y., and transported from the State of?
New; York into the State of Ohio, and charging adulteration and misbranding in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Pure?
Cider Vinegar Made From Apples Reduced To 4? * * * Man'f'd By The?
Powell Corp. Canandaigua, N. Y."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that distilled?
and evaporated apple products vinegar had been mixed and packed with and?
substituted wholly or in part for the article.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that the statement?
appearing on the labels of the said barrels, " Pure Cider Vinegar Made From?
Apples," was false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser.?
Misbranding was alleged for the further reason that the article was an imitation?
of and offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article.
On April 30, 1923, the Powell Corp., Canandaigua, N. Y., claimant, having?
admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to the entry of a decree,?
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by?
the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of the?
costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $500, in con??
formity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the said product be?
relabeled in a form satisfactory to this department-
