(F. D. C. No. 23720.   Sample No. 89961-H.)
LIBEL FILED :    September 24,1947, District of New Hampshire. 
ALLEGED SHIPMENT :   On or about October 24, 1946, by the Genoa Packing Co., 
from Boston, Mass.
PRODUCT: 14 cases, each containing 12 l-quart bottles, of salad oil at Manchester, 
N. H.
LABEL IN PART : "Angelina Brand Fine Oil Contents High Grade Domestic 
Vegetable Salad Oil with Pure Olive Oil * * * Packed By Angelina Pack- 
ing Company   Boston, Mass."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (4), artificial flavoring and 
artificial coloring had been added to soybean oil so as to make it appear better 
and Of greater value than it was.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement "Contents High Grade 
Domestic Vegetable Salad Oil with Pure Olive Oil" was false and misleading, 
since the product contained little, if any, olive oil. Section 403 (f), the label 
contained representations in a foreign language; and the name and place of 
business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, an accurate statement of 
the quantity of the contents, and the fact that the article contained artificial 
flavoring and artificial coloring, did not appear on the label in the foreign 
language. Section 403 (i) (2), the article was fabricated from 2 or more in- 
gredients, and its label failed to bear the common or usual name of each such 
ingredient, since "Vegetable Salad Oil" is not the common or usual name of 
soybean oil.
DISPOSITION : December 15,1947. Default decree of condemnation. The product 
was ordered delivered to a public institution.
