29175. Adulteration and misbranding of Imitation lemon flavor.    U. S. v. 2 Bot¬
tles and 7 Bottles of Lemon Flavor Imitation. Default decree of con- 
demnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 41182.    Sample No. 57527-C.)
This product contained a glycol or a glycol ether, or both, poisons.
On December 20, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of Con- 
necticut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of nine bottles of imitation 
lemon flavor at Bridgeport, Conn.; alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about July 12, 1937, from Brooklyn, N. Y., by Stand- 
ard Specialty Sales Co.; and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act The article was labeled in part: "Lemon Flavor 
Imitation * * * Packed for Modern Bakers Supply * * * Bridgeport., 
Conn."
Adulteration was alleged in that an article containing a glycol or a glycol ether, 
or both, poisons, had been substituted in whole or in part for imitation lemon 
flavor, a food flavor, which it purported to be.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Lemon Flavoring Imi- 
tation" was false and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead the pur- 
chaser when applied to an article containing a glycol or a glycol ether, or both, 
poisons; and in that it was offered for sale under the distinctive name of another 
article, lemon flavor imitation, a food flavor.
On May 11, 1938, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation was 
entered. On June 13, 1938, the decree was amended to order the product 
destroyed.
