151. Adulteration of lemon juice.     TT. S. v. 12 Cases of Lemon Juice.     Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D.  C. No. 526.    Sample No. 
65475-D.)
This product was undergoing chemical decomposition and was unfit for food 
because of its metallic taste.
On August 80, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Ohio filed a libel (amended September 15, 1939) against 12 cases of lemon 
juice at Cincinnati, Ohio, consigned on or about July 5, 1939, alleging that the 
article had been transported in interstate commerce by Bell & Co. from Chicago, 
111.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed substance and was otherwise unfit for food. The article 
was labeled in part: (Cans) "Val Vita Brand Natural California Lemon Juice 
Packed by Val Vita Food Products Inc.   Fullerton California."
On October 27, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
