3799. Misbranding of oleomargarine.    U. S. v. 106 Cases of Oleomargarine.   ProdŽ
uct ordered released under bond to be reprocessed and relabeled.    (F. D.
C. No. 7043.    Sample No. 53697-E.)
On March 14, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Utah filed 
a libel against 106 cases, each containing 30 pounds, of oleomargarine at Salt 
Lake City, Utah, alleging that the article has been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about February 23, 1942, by Vegetable Oil Products Co., Inc., from 
Wilmington, Calif.; and charging that it was misbranded. It was labeled in 
part: "Sunnybank Vegetable Vitamin A Added Oleomargarine."
It was alleged to be misbranded: (1) In that the statement on the wrapper, 
"Vegetable Fat 81 percent," was false and misleading since it contained less 
than 81 percent of fat. (2) In that it purported to be a food for which a defi- 
nition and standard of identity had been prescribed by regulations as provided 
by law and it failed to conform to such definition and standard since it con- 
tained less than 80 percent of fat.
On March 17, 1942, Safeway Stores, Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah, having ap- 
peared as claimant, judgment was entered ordering that the product be released 
under bond conditioned that it be reprocessed and relabeled under the super- 
vision of the Food and Drug Administration.
