NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 1014.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
MISBRANDING OF COFFEE.
On January 31, 1911, the United States Attorney for the Eastern 
District of Missouri, acting upon the report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed information in the District Court of the United 
States for said district against The Brokaw Merchandise Co., a 
corporation, alleging shipment by it, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on May 14, 1910, from the State of Missouri into the 
State of Illinois of a tin pail containing 10 pounds of coffee, which 
was misbranded. The pail containing said coffee bore no label, but 
said coffee was invoiced and sold as Java and Mocha coffee.
Analysis by the Bureau of Chemistry showed the product to consist 
of a mixture of Santos and Bourbon coffees and to contain neither 
Java nor Mocha. Misbranding was alleged because said coffee was an 
imitation of and offered for sale and was sold under the distinctive 
name of another article of coffee, to wit, Java and Mocha coffee, 
when in fact said coffee was not Java and Mocha coffee, but was 
another and different brand and variety of coffee, to wit, Santos and 
Bourbon coffee, and contained neither Java nor Mocha coffee; and, 
further, because said tin pail containing said coffee was not labeled, 
branded, or tagged so as to plainly indicate that it contained Santos 
and Bourbon coffee, and that the words " compound, imitation, or 
blend " were not contained on the label or package containing said 
coffee.
The defendant pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and costs.

Secretary of Agriculture,
