20849. Adulteration and Misbranding of vanilla extract.     V.  S. v.  Schaul
C.   Greinoman   (Atlanta  Supply  Co.).     Plea  of  guilty.     Fine,  $50.
(F.   &  D.   no.   25692.     I.   S.   nos.   017651,   019851,   019852,   022501,   024602, 
024811, 024812, 025733, 025734.)
This action was based on several shipments of a product, represented to be 
vanilla extract, that consisted of diluted vanilla extract, artificially colored.
On March 14, 1932, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis-
trict Court of the United States an information against Schaul G. Greinoman, 
trading as the Atlanta Supply Co., Atlanta, Ga., alleging shipment by said de- 
fendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about August 30, and 
September 14, 1929, from the State of Georgia into the States of Kansas, Ken- 
tucky, Wyoming, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, of several lots of alleged 
vanilla extract that was adulterated and misbranded. The article was labeled 
in part: (Bottle) "Flavoring Extract Vanilla 40% Alcohol * * * Manu- 
factured by The Atlanta Supply Co.   Atlanta, Georgia." 
/
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that a 
dilute, artificially colored extract had been substituted for vanilla extract, 
which the article purported to be.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statement "Extract 
Vanilla" borne on the label, was false and misleading, and for the further 
reason that the article was labeled so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser, 
since it was not extract of vanilla, but was an artificially colored, dilute 
extract.
On March 21, 1933, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the informa- 
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
