27334. Misbranding of dairy feed.     U. S. -v. 15 Bass of Feed.     Decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 39510.    Sample no. 839-C.)
This case involved feed that contained less protein than declared on the label.
On or about April 27, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of 
Maryland, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 15 bags of feed at 
Reisterstown, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about April 12, 1937, by Golden Grain Mills, Inc., from Rossmoyne, 
Pa., and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. It was 
labeled in part: "Golden Grain Mills, Inc. * * * Harrisburg, Penna. Plant 
Rossmoyne, Penna. Golden Grain Dairy Feed 34% Analysis Protein (Min.) 
34%."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Protein 
(Min.) 34%" was false and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead the 
purchaser when applied to an article containing less protein than declared, 
namely, not more than 31.29 percent.
On June 4, 1987, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
H. A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
