Bags of Meat and Bone Scrap. Decree of condemnation and for- 
feiture. Product released under bond. (F. & D. No. 21202. I. S, 
Nos. 7865-X, 7866-x.    S. No. E-5819.) , 
;
On August 3, 1926, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Virginia, 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 293 sacks of meat and bone scrap, at Richmond, Va., alleging   : 
that the article had been shipped by the 'Berg Co., Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., on or 
about July 1, 1926, and transported from the State of Pennsylvania into the   : 
State of Virginia, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs   : 
act.   The article was labeled in part: " 100 Lbs. Berg's    *    *    *    Poultry Meat   : 
&  Bone  Scrap  Guaranteed Analysis  Min.  Protein  55.00%"   (or  "45.00%")   ; 
" Manufactured by The Berg Co., Inc., Philadelphia, Pa."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded, in that .the state- ; 
ments " Guaranteed Analysis Min. Protein 55.00%" or "45.00%," as the case - 
might be, were false and misleading, and deceived and misled the purchaser, i 
since the article did not contain the amount of protein declared on the label, : 
but did contain a smaller quantity. 

On August 13, 1926, the Berg Co., Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., 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 claim- ] 
ant upon the execution of a bond in the sum of $500, conditioned in part that \ 
it be relabeled in accordance with the law.
