2155. Adulteration and misbranding of fish meal.    IT. S. v. 50 Sacks of Fish Meal.
Consent decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 5011. 
Sample No. 25375-E.)
Examination showed that this product contained ground nut shells.
On July 3, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Kansas filed 
a libel against 50 sacks of fish meal at Salina, Kans., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 8, 1941, by R. J. 
Roesling Co. from Richmond, Calif.; and charging that it was adulterated and 
misbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of fish meal and 
ground nut shells had been substituted wholly or in part for fish meal, which 
it purported to be.
It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that it was in package form and failed 
to bear a label containing the name and place of business of the manufacturer, 
packer, or distributor; (2) in that it was in package form and failed to bear a 
label containing an accurate statement of the quantity of contents; and (3) in 
that it was fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear 
the common or usual name of each ingredient. 
On July 29, 1941, the case having come on for hearing and the consignee, the 
sole intervenor, having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
