1488. Adulteration and misbranding of vinegar.    XT. S. v. 20 Cases of Vinegar.
Default  decree  of  condemnation  and  destruction.     (F. D.   C.   No.  2637. 
Sample No. 13293-B.)
This product contained not more than 3.35 percent of acetic acid; whereas 
cider vinegar should contain not less than 4 percent of acetic acid.
On August 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho 
filed a libel against 20 cases of vinegar at Weiser, Idaho, alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 18, 1940, for 
the Kerr Conserving Co. from Portland, Oreg.; and charging that it was 
adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Bottles) "Royalty of the 
Table Kerr's Pure Cider Vinegar."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance containing less acid 
than cider vinegar should contain had been substituted wholly or in part 
therefor.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "4 percent acetic acid" 
was false and misleading since it was not correct.
On September 19, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
