14033. Adulteration   and   misbranding   of   cheese.    U.   S.  v.   90  Pounds   of
Cheese. Default order of destruction entered. (F. & D. No. 19387. 
I. S. No. 22550-v.    S. No. C-4558.)
On December 17, 1924, the United States attorney for the District of Min- 
nesota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 90 pounds of cheese, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Minneapolis, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped by 
the Chicago Cheese & Farm Products Co., from Chicago, Ill., November 10, 
1924, and transported from the State of Illinois into the State of Minnesota, 
and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs- 
act as amended. The article was labeled in part: (Shipping package) "Chi- 
cago Cheese & Farm Products Co. * * * Chicago, Ill.," (package) " Daisy 
Brand Farmer Cheese, Chicago Cheese & Farm Products Co."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a 
substance, foreign fat, had been substituted wholly or in part for the said 
article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the designation " Cheese,"" 
borne on the label, was false, and misleading and deceived and misled the 
purchaser when applied to a
* product containing foreign fat, and for the 
further reason that it was food in package form and the quantity of the 
contents was not plainly and conspicuously stated on the outside of the 
package.
On April 14, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of the court was entered, ordering that the product be destroyed by the United 
States marshal.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
