54521. Adulteration of molasses residuum. IT. S. v. 400 Cases of an article labeled, 
in part, "Simulated HS—GAS." Default decree of condemnation and de- 
struction.    (F. D. C. No. 10049.   Sample No. 33479-F.)
This product was diluted molasses residuum, obtained after alcoholic fermen- 
tation, containing 0.4 percent of cresol. It was sold as molasses. The cans were 
labeled "1 Gal. Simulated HS-GAS."
Oh June 4, 1943, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New 
York filed a libel against 400 cases of molasses residuum at New York, N. Y., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
April 19, 1943, by B. Pierce & Co., Inc., from Baltimore, Md.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it contained an added poisonous or deleterious sub- 
stance, cresol, which might have rendered it injurious to health; and in that ' 
diluted molasses residuum containing cresol had been substituted in whole or in 
part for molasses; which the article was represented to be.
On June 23, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
