2904. Adulteration and misbranding of oil. V. S. v. 49 Cans of Peanut and 
Olive Oil.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C.
No. 5953.   Sample No. 56296-E.)
Analysis showed that this product consisted essentially of artificially flavored 
and colored peanut oil with little, if any, olive oil, and it simulated olive oil in 
taste and color. Furthermore, it contained a coal-tar color other than one 
from a batch that had been certified for food use.
On or about October 6, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of 
New Jersey filed a libel against 49 gallon cans of oil at Newark, N. J., alleging 
that the article had been shipped on or about September 13, 1941, by Marino 
Edible Oil Co. from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging that it was adulterated and 
misbranded.   It was labeled in part: "Zingarella Brand Oil."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained a coal-tar color 
other than one from a batch that had been certified as provided by law.
It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the statement "Peanut and Olive 
Oil" was false and misleading as applied to an artificially flavored and colored 
peanut oil containing little, if any, olive oil; (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 its label contained representations in a foreign lan- 
guage (Italian) and the information required by law to appear on the label, i. e., 
a statement of the quantity of contents and a statement of ingredients, did not 
appear thereon in the foreign language; and (4) in that it contained artificial 
flavoring and artificial coloring and did not bear labeling stating that fact.
On November 24, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
