147. Adulteration and misbranding of maple sirup.    TJ.  8. v. 18 Gallon Cans of 
Maple Sirup.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C.
No. 271.    Sample No. 520S9-D.)
This product, which was represented to be pure maple sirup, was found to 
consist chiefly of sugar sirup with little or no maple present.
On July 7, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western District of New
I  York filed a libel against 18 gallon cans of maple sirup at Olean, N. Y., alleging
'  that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 10,
1939, by Frank Brooks from Corry, Pa.; and charging that it was adulterated and
misbranded.    The article was labeled:  (Sticker)   "Pure Maple  Syrup 1st Run
1939 Hw Lawson, Corry, Pa." '
It was alleged to be adulterated in that an imitation maple sirup had been 
substituted wholly or in part for pure maple sirup, and in that it was mixed in 
a manner whereby inferiority was concealed.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the label 
that it was pure maple sirup was false and misleading; and in that it was an 
imitation of another article and was offered for sale under the name of another 
article.
On August 15, 1969, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
