tion.    Product ordered released under bond for repacking and for relabel- 
ing.    (F. D. C. No. 7415.    Sample No. 89396-E.)
This product consisted essentially of a mixture of corn oil and peanut oil con- 
taining little, if any, olive oil.
On April 29, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed a libel against 45 cases, each containing 6 1-gallon cans of oil, at Newark, 
N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about Mareh 10, 1942, by Rogol Distributors, Inc., from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and 
.charging that it was misbranded in that the statement "Corn and Peanut Oil 
Blended with the Natural Oil of Fine Crushed Olives" borne on. the label was 
false and misleading as applied to an article containing little, if any olive oil. 
The article was labeled in part¦:• "Rogola Brand."
On December 21,1942, Rogol Distributors, Inc., claimant, having filed an answer 
denying the allegation of misbranding, the case came on for trial before the 
¦court. However, before the completion of the Government's case the claimant 
withdrew its answer and entered into a stipulation in open court admitting the 
allegations of the libel and consenting to the entry of a decree. Judgment was 
thereupon entered condemning the product and ordering that the claimant pay 
$100 in lieu of costs and file a bond conditioned that the product be repacked 
and/or relabeled under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
