12378. Adulteration and misbranding1 of bleached grain. U. S. v. 160 
Sacks of Bleacned Grain. Decree of condemnation and forfei- 
ture.     Product released tinder bond to be relabeled.     (F.  & D.  No.
18693.    I. S. No. 18306-v.    S. No. E-3933.)
On May 17, 1924, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
?Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and 
condemnation of 160 sacks of bleached grain remaining in the original un- 
broken packages at Carroll ton, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by S. Zorn & Co. from Louisville, Ky., on or about May 7, 1924, and transported 
from the State of Kentucky into the State of Georgia, and charging adulter- 
ation and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was 
labeled in part: (Tag) " 150 Pounds Bleached Crescent Grain Made By S. Zorn 
?& Co   Louisville, Ky.    *    *    *    Ingredients: Oats, Barley and Other Grains."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a sub- 
stance, to wit, screenings, had been substituted wholly or in part for the said 
article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the designation " Ingredients 
Oats," appearing on the labels was false and misleading, and the words " Other 
Grains" did not correct the misleading impression conveyed. Misbranding 
was alleged for the further reason that the article was offered for sale under 
the distinctive name of another article, to wit, " Bleached Crescents Ingredients 
Oats, Barley, and Other Grains," whereas, in truth and fn fact, the article 
contained screenings bleached with sulphur dioxide.
On June 6, 1924, S. Zorn & Co., Louisville, Ky., having appeared as claimant 
for the property, 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 $300, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part 
that the article be relabeled " Bleached Crescent Grain Screenings."
