13736. Misbranding  of  salad  oil.     U.  S.  v.  25  Tins  of  Salad  Oil.    Default
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. No.
20102.    I. S. No. 24961-v.    S. No. E-5326.)
On or about June 15, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of 
Connecticut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States a libel praying the seizure and condemna- 
tion of 25 tins of salad oil, remaining in the original unbroken packages at
Bridgeport, Conn., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Fazio 
Brokerage Co., New York, N. Y., in part on or about April 23, 1925, and in part 
on or about May 6, 1925, and transported from the State of New York into 
the State of Connecticut, and charging misbranding in violation of the food 
and drugs act as amended. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "San 
Giuseppe Brand Salad Oil Vegetable Oil Slightly Flavored With Pure Olive- 
Oil A Compound Net Contents One Gallon."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
labels on the tins containing the said article, " Slightly Flavored With Pure 
Olive Oil Net Contents One Gallon," were false and misleading and deceived 
and misled the purchaser, and for the further reason that it was food in pack- 
age form and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously- 
marked on the outside of the package, since the statement made was not 
correct.
On August 19, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court, 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.-
