13053. Misbranding of peanut meal.     U. S. v. 90 Sacks of Peanut Meal.     De 
cree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released under 
bond to be relabeled. (F. & D. No. 19451. I. S. No. 21288-v. S. No. 
E-5081.)
On or about December 29, 1924, the United States attorney for the District 
of Maryland, 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 condemnation of 90 sacks of peanut meal, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Baltimore, Md., consigned about October 6, 1924, alleging 
that the article had been shipped by the Suffolk Oil Mill, from Suffolk, Va., 
and transported from the State of Virginia into the State of Maryland, and 
charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was 
labeled in part: " 100 Pounds Peanut Meal Manufactured By Suffolk Oil Mill 
Suffolk, Va., Guaranteed Analysis Protein 41 per cent * * * Made From 
Shelled Peanuts."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
label bore the statement " Guaranteed Analysis Protein 41 per cent," which 
was false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser.
On February 9, 1925, the Suffolk Oil Mill, Suffolk, Va., having appeared as 
claimant for -the property, judgment of condemnation 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 $200, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that 
it not be sold or disposed of until correctly labeled.
It. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
