17284.  Misbranding of  linseed  meal.     IT.  S. v.  131  Bags  of Linseed - Meal. 
Default   decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and    destruction.
(F. & D. No. 24732.    I. S. Nos. 028306, 028329.    S. No. 3079.)
On April 24, 1930, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and condemnation 
of 131 bags of linseed meal, remaining in the original unbroken packages at 
Millville, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Consolidated 
By-Product Co., Philadelphia, Pa., in part on or about March 20, 1930, and in 
part on or about April 11, 1930, and had been transported from the State of 
Pennsylvania into the State of New Jersey, and charging misbranding in vio- 
lation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: "Linseed 
Meal Guaranteed Analysis Protein 34% Min * * * Manufactured by Con- 
solidated By-Product Co."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the 
statement " Guaranteed Analysis Protein 34% Min," borne on the tags attached 
to the sacks containing the article, was false and misleading and deceived and 
misled the purchaser when applied to an article containing a less amount of 
protein.
On May 29. 1930, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
