20676. Adulteration and Misbranding of cheese. II. S. v. 26 Boxes, et al., of Cheese. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released under bond. (F. & D. no. 29684. Sample nos. 4439-A, 28634-A, 28638-A, 28639-A.) This case involved the interstate shipment of quantities of cheese that was found to be deficient in fat. On or about January 3, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 96 boxes of Longhorn cheese at Chicago, 111., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce, Novem- ber 1, 1932, by Pauly & Pauly, from Green Bay, Wis., to Chicago, Ill., and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled variously: " Wisconsin State Brand * * * Brook- field " ; " Wisconsin Factory * * * Brookfield Brand, State Brand "; " Wis- consin Factory * * * State Brand"; or "Brookfield Brand, Wisconsin Factory * * * Wisconsin State Brand "; and was invoiced as " Longhorn Cheese." It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that a sub- stance deficient in fact had been substituted for cheese, which the article purported to be. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article, since it was invoiced as " Long- horn Cheese." On February 8, 1933, Swift & Co., Chicago, Ill., claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant to be manufactured into pasteurized process cheese, upon payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $500, conditioned that it should not be disposed of in violation of the law. R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
