2643. Misbranding of cottonseed meal.    U.  S. v. Humphreys-Godwin Co.    Plea
of guilty.   Fine, $100.    (F. D. C. No. 4130.   Sample No. 18498-E.)
This product was found to contain less protein than the amount declared.
On June 4,1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of Tennessee 
filed an information against Humphreys-Godwin cola corporation, Memphis, 
Tenn., alleging shipment on or about November 27, 1940, from the State of 
Tennessee into the State of Kansas of quantities of cottonseed meal which was 
misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Choice Prime 41% Protein—Prime 
Quality 100 Pounds Net Dixie Brand Cottonseed Meal."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements "41.00% Protein" and 
"Min. Protein 41.00%," appearing onthe label/were false and misleading since it 
contained less than 41 percent, namely, not more than 37.38 percent of protein.
On August 7,1941, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the defend- 
ant, the court imposed a fine of $100.
