Pack was the president of Acme Markets, Inc., a large national retail food chain. Both Pack and Acme were charged with violating criminal provisions of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act. They were charged with allowing interstate shipments of food contaminated by rodents in an Acme warehouse. Pack defended himself by stating that although he was aware of the problem, he had delegated responsibility for the sanitary conditions of food storage to responsible subordinates. Can Pack be criminally liable in these circumstances? (United States v. Pack, 95 S. Ct. 1903)
