ing- Co. Plea of g-uilty. Fine, $100. (F. & D. No. 23702. I. S. No. 
17520-x.)
On January 21, 1929, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Kentucky, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
the Goodwin Preserving Co., a corporation, trading at Louisville, Ky., alleging 
shipment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about; 
September 13, 1927, from the State of Kentucky into the State of California^ 
of a quantity of jelly, which was adulterated and misbranded. The article, 
was labeled in part: "Goodwin's Best Red Currant Jelly * * * Goodwin 
Preserving Co. Incorporated Louisville, Ky." 

It was, alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in tha^j 
a currant-flavored, acidified pectin jelly had been mixed and packed therewith! 
so as to lower and reduce and injuriously affect its quality and strength audi 
had been substituted in part for red-currant jelly which, the said articlel 
purported to be. 
'   1
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statement "Red Curranii 
Jelly," borne on the label attached to the cans containing the article, wa||
%
I false and misleading in that the said statement represented that the article 
consisted wholly of red-currant jelly, and for the further reason that it was 
labeled as aforesaid so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser into the belief 
that it consisted wholly of red-currant jelly, whereas it did not so consist, but 
did consist in part of cnrrant-flavored, acidiflecl-pectin jelly. Misbranding was 
alleged for the further reason that the article was an imitation of and was 
offered for sale and sold under the distinctive name of another article, to wit, 
red-currant jelly.
On January 21, 1929, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on 
behalf of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $100.
