INFORMATION FILED :   January 13,1953, Northern District of Illinois, against the

J. Misrac, vice president. 
LABEL IN PART :   "Liguria Superfine Brand   An Excellent Composition of 80% 
Vegetable Oil and 20% of Pure Virgin Olive Oil."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402. (b) (1), a valuable constituent, 
olive oil, had been in whole or in part omitted from the article; and, Section 
402 (b) (2), a product which contained little or no olive oil had been sub- 
stituted for a blend of 80 percent of vegetable oil and 20 percent of olive oil, 
which the article was represented to be.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement "20% of Pure Virgin 
Olive Oil" was false and misleading since the article contained little or no 
olive oil.
DISPOSITION : February 9,1953. A plea of nolo contendere having been entered 
on behalf of the defendants, the court imposed a fine of $600, plus costs, against 
the defendants jointly.
