7081. Adulteration and misbranding of evaporated milk. II. S. * *' * v. 
Mohawk Condensed. MilSi Co., a corporation. Plea of guilty. Fine, 
$100.     (F.  & D.  No.   9658.     I.  S.  Nos.   1636-p,  4485-p,  4487-p.)'
On July 18,1919, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New 
York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district an information against the Mohawk 
Condensed Milk Co., a corporation, New York, N. Y., alleging shipment by said 
company, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on June 23, 1917, June 8, 
1918, and May 16, 1918, from the State of New York into the State of New Jersey, 
of quantities of an article, labeled in part " Gold Cross Unsweetened Evaporated 
Milk," which was adulterated and misbranded.
Analyses of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- 
ment showed the following results:
Shipment of- 
June 23,1917.    May 16,1918.    June 8,1918.
Total solids  (per cent) - 25. 72 26.77 26.85
Fat   (per cent) 
7.43 
7.45 
7.50
Adulteration of the article in each shipment was alleged in the information 
for the reason that a substance, to wit, partially evaporated milk, had been 
mixed and packed therewith so as to lower and reduce and injuriously affect 
its quality and strength, and had been substituted in whole or in part for evapo- 
rated milk, which the article purported to be.
Misbranding of the article in each shipment was alleged for the reason that the 
statement, to wit, " Evaporated Milk," borne on the labels attached to the cans 
containing the article, regarding it and the ingredients and substances contained 
therein, was false and misleading in that it represented that said article con- 
sisted wholly of evaporated milk, and for the further reason that it was labeled 
as aforesaid so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser into the belief that it 
consisted wholly of evaporated milk, whereas, in truth and in fact, it did not 
so consist, but consisted in whole or in part of partially evaporated milk, and 
for the further reason that it was a mixture composed in whole or in part of par- 
tially evaporated milk prepared in imitation of evaporated milk, and was offered
for sale and sold under the distinctive name of another article, to wit, evaporated 
milk.
On July 23, 1919, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the infor- 
mation, and the court imposed a fine of $100.
