Vegan Lounge's Business Plan

Abstract
This APA research paper will inform the reader of the monumental court case that The Vegan Lounge believes, in some ways, is related to their business plan. This case, U.S. v. 95 Barrels Alleged Apple Cider Vinegar, was chosen because they believe it connects well to a part of their business plan. In the business plan, for The Vegan Lounge, they have chosen to sell and distribute the sauces they use in their restaurant. These sauces range from hot sauces to barbecue sauces. The case is significant because it is essentially a blueprint on how not to label when selling products based on ingredients. In this paper, we will focus on the case, details of the case, the result of the case, and finally the conclusion. Throughout this paper, will be statements on how it is related to The Vegan Lounge’s business plan.

The Case The Case of U.S. v. 95 Barrels Alleged Apple Cider Vinegar was a supreme court case that broke down into a case about mislabeling the product. The United States Supreme Court came to the decision that apple cider vinegar is mislabeled when the vinegar being sold is created by using dried apples. The label that was the heart of the issue was because that the
vinegar was made from "selected" apples. Douglas Packing Company, the manufacturer of the apple cider vinegar, came forward and let it be known to create the vinegar they were dehydrating fresh apples and then re-hydrating the apples with pure water to produce the apple cider vinegar. In the findings during the case it was noted that some other chemicals were used in the manufacturing process for the apple cider vinegar made from dried apples, but neither party involved in the case believed that this caused a difference to the apple cider vinegar being produced in any significant way. Beside this and the difference in apples, the manufacturing process was virtually the same if they had not used dried apples or other chemicals. The trial judge was presented with samples of the apple cider vinegar at the heart of the case, and apple cider vinegar prepared with fresh apples, and no additional chemicals. The judge decided there were no significant differences between the two apple cider vinegars, noting just slight differences in taste, and appearance. A chemical comparison performed yielded similar results to what the trial judge described. The Vegan Lounge should be careful to pay special attention to the details of this case, when it comes to their products if they claim to feature a certain type of pepper, and it is in fact not that pepper, but a pepper that is similar, they could be pursued with legal action. The Vegan Lounge should pay special attention to the labeling of their products being sold and distributed online, and in the restaurant.
Details of The Case The details of the case for U.S.
v 95 Barrels Alleged Apple Cider Vinegar are going to be shown here. The history of The Douglas Packing Company is important to this case Smith (2017) states that “Douglas Packing Company was founded in 1911 by brothers Robert and Charles Douglas along with partners Earle Neville and John Clingen…Three of the partners, excluding Charles, had worked for the American Fruit Products Company and left when they saw a great new opportunity—apple pectin”. Their new-found business was started to harvest the carbohydrate found in apples know as pectin, they soon after started to produce apple cider vinegar (Smith, 2017). Sometime before 1921 the company decided to begin dehydrating their apples being used to make apple cider vinegar (Smith,
2017).
