IT. S. v. Berend J. Burns (Burns Grain Co.) and Edward M. Senftle 
(Buffalo Feed Processing Co. and Buffalo Feed Processing Co., Inc.). 
Consent decree granting injunction.     (Inc. No. 170.)
COMPLAINT FILED : May 1, 1947, Western District of New York, against Berend 
J. Burns, trading as the Burns Grain Co., and Edward M. Senftle, trading as the 
Buffalo Feed Processing Co. and Buffalo Feed Processing Co., Inc., Buffalo, 
N. Y.
NATURE OF CHARGE : Since July 1, 1945, Berend J. Burns, trading as the Burns 
Grain Co., had been engaged in the purchase, manipulation, sale, and interstate 
shipment of animal feed, and Edward M. Senftle, trading as the Buffalo Feed 
Processing Co. and Buffalo Feed Processing Co., Inc., had been operating a 
plant and factory for the milling, manufacturing, labeling, and interstate 
shipment of animal feed and financing such activities; that in the year 1945, 
the defendants shipped to Chestertown, Md., and Cincinnati, Ohio, quantities 
of feed labeled in part "Guaranteed Analyses Protein 20-22%, Fat 4^- 
5%%"; that the product so labeled contained less than 20 percent of protein 
and less than 4% percent of fat; that in the year 1946, the defendants shipped 
various lots of feed to Hampstead and Chestertown, Md., Charles Town, 
W. Va., and Johnstown, Pa., under certificates of analyses indicating that the 
product contained a certain percentage of protein, but the analyses showed 
that the protein content was substantially less than represented in the respec- 
tive certificates; that some of the aforesaid shipments were made in the name 
of Edward M. Senftle, and others were made in the name of the Burns Grain 
Co.; and that the feed so shipped was misbranded as follows: Section 4Q3 
(a), the statements on the tags and in the certificates of analyses regarding 
the products were false and misleading since the products contained less 
protein and in some instances less fat than so represented.
PRAYER OP COMPLAINT: That the defendants be enjoined from the interstate 
shipment of misbranded food products.
DISPOSITION: May 7, 1947. The defendants having consented to the entry of 
a decree, an order was entered permanently enjoining the defendants from
shipping in interstate commerce any food products manufactured or stored by 
them or under their control, which were in violation of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
