On June 5,1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of West 
Virginia filed a libel against 10 cans of olive oil at Wheeling, W. Va., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 
10, 1942, by the Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., Inc., from Pittsburgh, Pa.; and 
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. The article was labeled in 
N part: "Very Best Virgin Olive Oil Savoy Brand."
) It was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of olive oil and cottonseed 
oil had been substituted in whole or in part for olive oil, which it purported 
to be.
It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the statements "Very Best 
Virgin Olive Oil Guaranteed Absolutely pure under chemical analysis. The 
fruit is prepared by experts to make the finest, purest olive oil," and similar 
statements in Italian and the designs of crown, shield, and olive branch in the 
labeling were false and misleading as applied to an article that was a mixture of 
olive oil and cottonseed oil; (2) in that it was offered for sale under the name of 
another food; and (3) in that it was fabricated from two or more ingredients, 
and its label failed to bear the common or usual name for each such ingredient
On November 12, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered denatured and sold for wax 
purposes.
