NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 1066.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF PAPRIKA.
On December 9, 1910, the United States Attorney for the District 
of New Jersey, acting upon the report by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed information in the District Court of the United States 
for said district
,
against the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., a corpora- 
lion, alleging shipment by it, in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act, on or about December 7, 1909, from the State of New Jersey 
into the State of Georgia, of a consignment of a certain product de- 
nominated " Paprika " which was adulterated and misbranded. The 
product was labeled: "A. & P. Paprika, packed by the great Atlantic 
& Pacific Tea Co., New York.    Label Guar.    Serial No. 9244."
Analysis made by the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States 
Department of Agriculture of a sample of said product showed it 
to contain added oil. Adulteration was alleged for the reason that 
a substance, to wit, oil, had been substituted wholly or in part for 
the paprika, and was mixed with it so as Io conceal the inferiority 
of the article. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the 
name "A. & P. Paprika " was false and misleading, and calculated 
to mislead and deceive the purchaser, in that it represented the arti- 
cle to consist of paprika when in fact there had been added or packed 
with said article a foreign oil.
On May 29, 1911, the defendant corporation entered a plea of non 
vult, and a fine of $50 was imposed against it.

Secretary of Agriculture.
