12344. Misbranding: of linseed-oil meal. V. S. v. 400 Sacks and 100 Sacks of Linseed Oil Meal. Decrees of condemnation and forfeiture- Product released under bond to be relabeled. (F. & D. Nos. 18697, 18698. I. S. Nos. 13709-v, 16021-v. S. Nos. E-4844, E-4845.) On or about May 19, 1924, the United States attorney for the Eastern Dis- trict of Pennsylvania, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district libels praying the seizure and condemnation of 500 sacks of linseed-oil meal remaining in the original unbroken packages in part at Philadelphia, Pa., and in part at Lan- caster, Pa., consigned by the Mann Bros. Co., Buffalo, N. Y., alleging that the-article had been shipped from Buffalo, N. Y., in part on or about March 7, and in part on or about March 13, 1924, and transported from the State of New York into the State of Pennsylvania, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. Misbranding of the article was alleged in* substance in the libels for the reason that the packages contained labels which bore the following state- ments regarding the article and the ingredients and substances contained therein, " 100 pounds 34% Protein. Pure Old Process Linseed Oil Meal. From The Mann Bros. Co. Buffalo, N. Y. Guaranteed Analysis Minimum Protein 34 Minimum Fat 6 Maximum Fiber 10," which said statements were false and misleading in that the article did not contain 34 per cent of protein. OH June 24, 1924, Ezl. Dunwoody Co. and John W. Eshelman & Sons having appeared as claimants for respective portions of the property, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimants upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bonds in the aggregate sum of $450, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the product be relabeled under the supervision of this department.
