Incorrect Braiidiug of Honey Every now and then some one is anxious about the matter of labeling his honey. He seems to think there is something complicated and hard to understand about complying with the requirements of the pure-food law. It is exceedingly simple. There is no law against selling a mixture that is half honey and half glucose, or for that matter that is all glucose or all sor- ghum molasses. But //" such mixture be labeled /loiiey there is likely to be trouble if the product is shipped from one State to another, so as to come under the United States pure-food law, or if it be sold in any State with pure- food laws corresponding with the United States laws. The only point to keep in mind is that the label must tell the truth. The law does not compel a label, but if a label be used, it must tell the truth. Also, it must tell the truth about the weight if it tells any- thing about the weight. Even if the weight falls a very trifle short of that printed on the label, the seller is crimi- nally liable. Here is a concrete instance in which a shortage of about a fourth of an ounce in a half-pound package brought a fine. The following has been issued by the United States Department of Agriculture: Misbranding of Honey. On May 13. iqii. the United States Attor- nej'for the Southern District of Iowa, act- ing upon the report by the Secretary of Ag- riculture, filed information in ttie District Court of the United States for said district against Albert A. Deiser & Co., a corpora- tion, alleging shipment by it. in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. on June 15, igio. and Nov. 14. 1810. fr
