2325. Misbranding of cottonseed meal.    U. S. v. The TJnion Oil Mill, Inc.    Plea
of guilty.    Fine, $500.    (F. D. C. No. 4159.    Sample No. 17343-E.)
Examination of this product showed that it contained a smaller proportion 
of protein than that declared on the label.
On July 9,1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of Louisiana 
filed an information against the Union Oil Mill, Inc., West Monroe, La., alleging 
shipment on or about October 2, 1940, from the State of Louisiana into the State
of Texas, of a quantity of cottonseed meal which was^misbranded. The article 
was labeled in part: "43% Protein Cottonseed Meal Prime Quality Manufactured 
For and Guaranteed By Louis Tobian.& Company Dallas, Texas;"
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements "43% Cottonseed 
Meal" and "Crude Protein, not less than 43.00%," borne on the tag, were false 
and misleading since it contained less than 43 percent of crude protein, namely, 
not more than 39.62 percent.
On October 13, 1941, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $500.
