Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Olive Oil and Its Substitutes
For the lack of a better term, a number of salad oils are referred to 111 this bulletin as olive oil substitutes. By this it is not intended to class them as inferior in any sense, or to disparage their legitimate use or their sale when labeled in such a way as to notify the purchaser of their nature. They are included in this bulletin, however, merely because, being cheaper oils, they are sometimes fraudulently substi tuted for olive oil and sold either at a price above their relative value, or at a price which brings olive oil into unfair competition. Such practices are fraudulent, and it is highly important for those engaged in the manufacture of olive oil, which has become an important indus try in California, that they be forbidden.
Two Federal laws were passed by the last Congress which have a bearing on this subject. One of these (public - No. 223) forbids the misbranding or false labeling of food products as to the place of their manufacture. The other (publicj - No. 158) prohibits the importation into the United States of foods which are found to be dangerous to health, or which are forbidden to be sold or restricted in sale in coun tries in which they are made or from which they are exported, or which shall be. Falsely labeled in any respect in regard to the place of manufacture or the contents of the package.
