29838. Adulteration and misbranding of graham crackers.    17. S. v. 310 Cartons
of "Burry's Crisp Brown Alllk and Honey Grahams.'' Consent decree 
of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 43972. Sample No. 
21810-D.)
This product was sold as milk and honey graham crackers but contained 
little or no milk and very little honey in comparison with the amount of sugar 
that was used as the principal sweetening agent.
On September 27, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 310 cartons of 
graham crackers at Chicago, Ill.; alleging that the article has been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about July 13, 1938, by Burry Biscuit Corporation 
from Waverly, N. J.; and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing little 
or no milk, and very little honey in comparison with sugar (sucrose) the prin- 
cipal sweetening agent, had been substituted wholly or in part for the article.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Milk and 
Honey Grahams" was false and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead 
the purchaser.
On November 1, 1938, the claimant having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
