1721. Adulteration and misbranding of dairy feed.    U. S. v. 92 Bags of Dairy
Ration.    Default decree of condemnation.     (F. D. C. No. 4030.    Sample No. 
17482-B.)
This product did not contain certain ingredients declared on the label.
On March 26, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
West Virginia filed a libel against 92 bags of dairy ration at Pennsboro, W. Va., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on January 10, 
1941, by the Herman-McLean Co. from Monroeville, Ohio; and charging that it 
was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Tag) "100 Lbs. Net 
Ohio 16% Dairy Ration * * * Ingredients: Cottonseed Meal, Corn Gluten 
Feed, Soft Winter Wheat Bran, Brewers Grains, Cocoanut Oil Meal, Soya Bean 
Oil Meal, Alfalfa Meal, 10% Ground Wheat and Flax Screenings, 10% Oat Mill 
Feed Cane Molasses, 1% Calcium Carbonate, 1% Salt."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that cottonseed meal, corn gluten 
feed, brewers' grains, cocoanut oil meal, or oat mill feed, valuable constituents, 
had been in whole or in part omitted therefrom.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statement was false and 
misleading, "Ingredients: Cottonseed Meal, Corn Gluten Feed * * * Brewers 
Grains, Cocoanut Oil Meal   *   *    *   10% Oat Mill Feed," since it was incorrect.
On April 29, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the 92 bags covered by the libel be destroyed, 
but that 66 bags which had been seized but which were not covered by the libel 
be released to the owner.
