On or about August 22, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of?
Connecticut, 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 9 gallon cans of compound corn salad oil and olive oil, re??
maining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Bridgeport, Conn., alleging?
that the article had been shipped by Crisafulli Bros., New York., N. Y., on or?
about July 19, 1921, and transported from the State of New York into the?
State of Connecticut, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act, as amended.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason?
that the labels of the cans containing the article bore the following statements,?
" Finest Quality Table Oil La Migliore Brand Insuperabile Corn salad oil com??
pound with Extra Fine Olive Oil Net Contents One Gallon Packed in U. S.?
^ * * *f? Which said statements were false and misleading and deceived?
and misled the purchaser. Misbranding was alleged for the further reason that?
the article was food in package form, and the quantity of the contents was not?
plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On September 16, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be sold by the United States marshal, or destroyed if?
such sale could not be speedily effected.
