2083. Adulteration and misbranding of olive oil.     V. S. v. 45 Cases of Olive Oil.
Default  decree   of  condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   D.   C.   No.   3545. 
Sample No. 25830-E.)
This product was not imported olive oil as represented but was a mixture 
of cottonseed oil and olive oil.
On December 18, 1940, the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Alabama filed a libel against 45 cases of olive oil at Clanton, Ala., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about Novem- 
ber 4, 1940, by the National Specialty Co. from Nashville, Tenn.; and Charging 
that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Nasco Pure 
Imported Olive Oil."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of olive oil 
and cottonseed oil had been substituted wholly or in part for olive oil, which 
it purported to be.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Pure Imported Olive 
Oil" was false and misleading as applied to a mixture of olive oil and cotton- 
seed oil.
On January 20, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
