On March 21, 1923, the United States attorney for the Western District?
of Wisconsin, acting upon a report by an official of the Wisconsin Department?
of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said?
district a libel praying the seizure and condemnation of 19 sacks of tankage,?
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Hazel Green, Wis.,?
alleging that the article had been shipped by the Frith's Union Slaughter?
House, Dubuque, Iowa, on or about February 19, 1923, and transported from?
the State of Iowa into the State of Wisconsin, and charging misbranding?
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that the statements appearing on the sacks containing the said article,?
to wit, "Protein 47.10 Fat 11.60 Fibre 4.35," were false and misleading and?
calculated to deceive and mislead purchasers thereof in that the said article?
did not contain 47.10 per cent of protein and 11.60 per cent of fat but did?
contain less amounts, and the said article did contain more than 4.35 per cent?
of fiber.
On May 9, 1923, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of the court was entered finding the product to be misbranded and ordering its?
destruction by the United States marshal.
