21930. Misbranding of   gray   wheat   shorts   and   screenings.    tJ.   S.   v.   88
100-Pound Sacks of Gray Wheat Shorts and Screenings. Consent 
decree of condemnation. Product released under bond to be 
relabeled.     (F. & D. no. 31732.    Sample no. 6367S-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of gray wheat shorts and screenings 
that contained more crude fiber than was declared on the label.
On November 25, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Kansas, 
acting upon a report by the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 88 one-hundred-pound 
sacks of gray wheat shorts and screenings at Kansas City, Kans., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October - 
10, 1933, by the Black Bros. Flour Mills Co., from Beatrice, Nebr., and charging 
misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part: (Sack) "Crude Fibre Max. 6.00%, * * * Black Bros. Flour Mills, 
Beatrice, Nebr."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the state- 
ment, " Crude Fibre Max. 6.00% ", was false, since the article contained more 
than 6 percent of crude fiber.
On December 5, 1933, Black Bros. Flour Mills Co., Beatrice, Nebr., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be released to the claimant upon payment of costs and 
the execution of a bond in the sum of $100, conditioned that it be relabeled.
