LIBEL FILED :   May 8,1944, Northern District of Ohio.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about March 9, 1944, by the Western Food Corpora- 
tion, Chicago, Ill.
PRODUCT:   28 cans of oil at Cleveland, Ohio.
LABEL, IN PART :    (Main panels) "W-F-C Liguria Superfine Brand   An excellent
Composition of 80% vegetable and 20% of Pure Virgin Olive Oil," and a design
of medals.
sisted essentially of corn oil and which contained not over 9 percent of olive oil 
had been substituted for "80% vegetable oil and 20% of Pure Virgin Olive Oil," ( 
which the article was represented to be.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statement, "An Excellent Composition of 
80% vegetable oil and 20% of Pure Virgin Olive Oil" was false and misleading; 
in addition, the prominent word "Liguria," which is the name of an Italian 
province, and the design of medals, coupled with the prominent statement "Pure 
Virgin Olive Oil," were misleading since they .created the impression that the 
article was a foreign product; and, Section 403 (i) (2), the product was fabri- 
cated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear the common or 
usual name of each ingredient since vegetable oil is not the common or usual 
name for corn oil.
DISPOSITION : August 10,1944. The Western Food Corporation having appeared 
as claimant and consented to the entry of the decree, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered released under bond for removal of 
the contents of the cans into a properly labeled container, under the supervision 
of the Food and Drug Administration.
