mixture of wine vinegar and distilled vinegar had been substituted for pure 
wine vinegar; Section 402 (b) (3), the product was inferior to pure wine 
vinegar, and its inferiority had been concealed by the addition of artificial 
color; and, Section 402 (b) (4), distilled vinegar had been mixed and packed 
with the product so as to reduce its quality and strength, and artificial color 
had been mixed and packed with the article so as to make it appear to be wine 
vinegar, a product which is better and of greater value.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement "Pure Wine Vinegar" was 
false and misleading.
DISPOSITION: August 5, 1946. A plea of guilty having been entered, the de- 
fendant was fined $101.
