Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit November 16, 1950, No. 37, Docket 21697 (United States v. Antonio Corrao Corp.)

lead-opinion

FRANK, Circuit Judge.

To the facts stated in the trial judge’s opinion, the following should be added: Olive oil is more expensive, and is regarded by consumers as more desirable, than vegetable oils. To cheat consumers, some blenders sold blends of olive and peanut oil (or of other vegetable oils) containing a smaller percentage of olive oil than that ■stated on the labels.
