ADTJLTEEATION OF CHEESE.
On or about January 26, 1912, the United States Attorney for the?
Northern District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary?
of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for?
said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 25 boxes of?
cheese remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and in?
possession of A. H. Barber & Co., a corporation, Chicago, 111., alleg??
ing that the product had been shipped by the National Food Products?
Co., Brighton, Mich., on or about January 3, 1912, from the State of?
Michigan into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. Seizure of the product was?
recommended upon charges of adulteration and misbranding, but a?
charge of adulteration only was brought in the libel.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason?
that it was designated by the National Food Products Co. as?
" Cheese," and purported to consist of cheese made from whole milk,?
whereas, in truth and in fact, it was not cheese made from whole?
milk in that a valuable constituent, to wit, the cream of whole milk,?
had been abstracted in part from the cheese aforesaid.
On March 9, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the product,?
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was?
further ordered that the United States marshal should advertise and?
sell the product as skimmed-milk cheese.

Secretary of Agriculture.?
