712. Adulteration and misbranding of wheat gray shorts and screenings.    U. S.
v. Rodney Milling Co.     Plea of guilty.    Fine, $50 and costs.     (F. D.  C.
No. 944.    Sample No. 5983-D.)
Wheat brown shorts had been substituted in whole or in part for wheat gray 
shorts in this product, which also contained fiber in excess of the amount 
declared.
On May 8, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri filed an information against the Rodney Milling Co., at Kansas City, 
Mo., alleging shipment on or about September 13, 1939, from the State of Mis- 
souri into the State of Texas of a quantity of the above-named product, which 
was adulterated and misbranded.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that wheat brown shorts and screenings 
had been substituted in whole or in part for wheat gray shorts and screenings.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements, "Wheat Gray Shorts 
and * * * Screenings" and "Crude Fiber not more than 6 percent," borne 
on the label, were false and misleading since it consisted in whole or in part 
of wheat brown shorts and screenings and contained more than 6 percent of 
crude fiber. It was alleged to be misbranded further in that it was offered for 
sale and sold under the name of another food.
On May 27, 1940, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $50 with costs.
