14814. Misbranding of cottonseed meal.    17. S. v. 300 Sacks of Cottonseed
Meal.    Product released under bond to be relabeled.     (F. & D. No.
20963.   I. S. Nos. 6771-x, 6772-x.    S. No. E-5689.)
On or about March 27, 1926, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Florida, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying 
seizure and condemnation of 300 sacks of cottonseed meal, remaining in the 
original unbroken packages at Tallahassee, Fla., alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the International Vegetable Oil Co., Savannah, Ga., February 
25, 1926, and transported from the State of Georgia into the State of Florida, 
and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article 
was labeled in part: " Bright Second Class Cotton Seed Meal * * * Guar- 
anteed  Analysis  Ammonia    *    *    *   7%."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded, in that the 
labels thereon represented that it consisted in part of 7 per cent by volume 
of ammonia, whereas, in truth and in fact, it did not contain 7 per cent of am- 
monia.
On April 24, 1926, the International Vegetable Oil Co., Inc., Savannah, Ga., 
having appeared as claimant for the property, a decree was entered, order- 
ing the product released to the said claimant upon the execution of a bond 
in the sum of $100, conditioned in part that the product be properly relabeled.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
