28211. Adulteration of imitation lemon flavor.    U.  S.  v.  8 Jugs   of Imitation
Lemon Flavor.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. &
D. No. 40531.   Sample No. 54103-C.)
This product was represented to be an imitation lemon flavor, whereas it 
had practically no flavoring strength.
On or about October 25, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of eight jugs 
of imitation lemon flavor at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that it had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about September 15, 1937, from Montgomery, Ala., 
by Schloss & Kahn Grocery Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "HTC Brand Imitation 
Lemon Flavor   *    *    *   Hudson Tea & Spice Co., Inc. Brooklyn, N. Y."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a worthless product had been 
substituted for imitation lemon flavor, which it purported to be.
On November 20, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
