(F. D. C. No. 8547.    Sample No. 26487-F.) J
On October 7, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland 
filed a libel against 15 100-pound bags of fish meal at Cambridge, Md., which 
had been consigned by Walton Brothers, alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 2,1942, from Philadelphia, Pa., 
and charging that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Tag) 
"Fish Meal 62% Guaranteed Analysis Protein 62% Fat 6% Fiber 8% Pre- 
pared by has. R. Shoemaker, Inc.   *   *   *   Philadelphia* Pa." •
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Protein 
62%   *   *   *   Fiber 8%," was false and misleading as applied to the article 
since it contained an average of 58.31 percent of protein and an average of 
4.51 percent of fiber.
On November 8,1942, the Cambridge Manufacturing Co. of Cambridge, Md., and 
has. B. Shoemaker, Inc., of Philadelphia, Pa., claimants, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond for relabeling under the supervision of the 
Food and Drug Administration.
