NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 499, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
MISBRANDING OF ANDERSON'S COMPOUND JAM.
On or about May 14, 1909, John Boyle & Co., Inc., Baltimore, Md.,?
shipped from the State of Maryland to the State of Louisiana a?
consignment of a food product labeled "Anderson's Compound Jam."?
Samples from this shipment were procured and analyzed by the?
Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, and?
as the findings of the analyst and report made indicated that the?
product was misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906, the Secretary of Agriculture afforded John Boyle?
& Co., and the party from whom the samples were procured, oppor??
tunities for hearings. As it appeared after hearings held that the?
said shipment was made in violation of the act, the Secretary of?
Agriculture reported the facts to the Attorney-General, with a state??
ment of the evidence upon which to base a prosecution.
In due course a criminal information was filed in the District Court?
of the United States for the District of Maryland against said John?
Boyle & Co., charging the above shipment and alleging that the?
product, shipped as aforesaid, was misbranded, in that the label?
represented it to be a blend or compound containing "Fruit 30?,?
Sugar 20?, Apple Juice 25?, Glucose 25?", which statement was?
false and misleading, because the article contained an amount of?
glucose in excess of said 25 per cent, to wit, 45.7 per cent.
On March 26, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the?
information, whereupon the court imposed a fine of $20.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
