10275. Misbranding of condensed buttermilk.    V. S. v. 25 Barrels of Condensed
Buttermilk, and a number of pamphlets.    Default decree of condemna- 
tion.   Product ordered sold.    (F. D. C. No. 17571.    Sample No. 22189-H.)
LIBEL FILED :    September 19,1945, Eastern District of Illinois.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : The product was shipped by the Merchants Creamery Co., 
¦ from Cincinnati, Ohio, on or about July 10, 1945; the pamphlets were shipped 
by mail during the month of February 1945.
PRODUCT: 25 barrels of condensed buttermilk at Mattoon, Ill., and a number of 
pamphlets entitled "Blue Ribbon Condensed Milk." Examination of a sample 
of the product showed that it contained 6.70 percent of protein.
LABEL, IN PART: "Blue Ribbon Special Condensed Buttermilk * * * 
Guaranteed Analysis   Protein 10%."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement "Protein 
10%" was false and misleading.
Further misbranding, Section 403 (a), certain statements appearing in the 
pamphlets were false and misleading since they represented and suggested that 
the article would be effective to promote faster growth, better health, resistance 
to disease, lower mortality, better digestion in livestock and poultry, and in- 
creased hatchability and egg production in poultry; and that it would be effec- 
tive in the treatment of worms and necrotic enteritis in hogs and coccidiosis in 
poultry.   The article would not be effective for such purposes.
The article was alleged to be misbranded also under the provisions of the law 
applicable to drugs, as reported in notices of judgment on drugs and devices, 
No. 1945. 
DISPOSITION : February 5,1946. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered sold, conditioned that all 
labels and pamphlets be destroyed.
