Natick Paperboard Corp. v. Weinberger
United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
525 F.2d 1103 (1975)
- Written by Alex Ruskell, JD
Facts
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sought to seize paperboard food packaging containing dangerous PCBs that tended to migrate to the food. The FDA argued that such material met the definition of adulterated food under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Natick Paperboard Corp. (plaintiff) sued, arguing that the FDA had to wait until the chemicals actually migrated to the food before seizure and that the migration had to be intentional to meet the requirements of the act.
