11156.?Adulteration and misbranding- of salad dressing.    TJ. S. v. 70 Cases
of Regal Thousand Island Dressing.    Default  deeree of condem??
nation,  forfeiture,  and   destruction.     (F.  &  D.   No.   18814.    I.   S.  No.
7837-v.    S. No. W-1211.)
On September 29, 1922, the United States attorney for the Eastern District?
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculure, filed in?
the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 70 cases of Regal Thousand Island dressing, remaining?
unsold in the original unbroken packages at Spokane, Wash,, consigned by Ben?
T. Hosking & Bro., Chicago, 111., alleging that the article had been shipped?
from Chicago, 111., in two shipments, namely, March 1 and April 1, 1921, and?
transported from the State of Illinois into the State of Washington, and?
charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act, as amended. The article was labeled in part: " Net Weight, 10 Ounces?
Regal * * * Thousand Island Dressing * * * Manufactured by Ben T.?
Hosking & Brother Chicago, 111."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable or?
animal substance.
Misbranding was alleged in substance for the reason that the label upon each?
bottle containing the article, " Net Weight, 10 Ounces," was false and mis??
leading and deceived and misled the purchaser in that the label represented?
that the said bottles contained a greater quantity than was contained therein.?
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 conspicu??
ously marked upon the outside of each of said packages, since the weight?
marked upon the said labels was not correct.
On December 14, 1922, 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 destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
