2511. Adulteration and misbranding of vegetable oil. IT. S. v. 35 1-Gallon Cans of Oil. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 5105. Sample No. 33980-B.) This product was represented to consist of a mixture of corn, cottonseed, and olive oils but consisted essentially of cottonseed oil and peanut oil artificially flavored and artificially colored with an uncertified coal-tar dye. On July 7, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey filed a libel against 35 1-gallon cans of oil at Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 29, 1941, by Italo Olive Oil Importer from New York, N. Y.; and charging that it was adulterated and mis- branded. It was labeled in part: (Main panels) "Ferruggia Brand Corn & Cottonseed Oil and Pure Olive Oil." The article was alleged to be adulterated in that an artificially colored and flavored mixture consisting essentially of cottonseed oil and peanut oil had been substituted wholly or in part for "Corn & Cottonseed Oil and Pure Olive Oil," which it purported to be; in that artificial color and artificial flavor had been added thereto or mixed or packed therewith so as to make it appear better or of greater value than it was; and in that it contained a coal-tar color other than one from a batch that had been certified in accordance with regulations provided by law. It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the statement "Corn & Cottonseed Oil and Pure Olive Oil" was false and misleading; (2) in that it was an imitation of another food, olive oil, and its label failed to bear in type of uniform size and prominence the word "imitation" and, immediately thereafter, the name of the food imitated; (3) in that the label contained certain representations in a foreign language, (Italian) but failed to contain in such language all the words, state- ments, and information required by or under the law to appear on the label; (4) in that it was fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label did not bear the common or usual name of each ingredient, since the presence of peanut oil was not declared; and (5) in that it contained artificial flavoring and artificial coloring and did not bear labeling stating that fact. On September 4, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
