965.. Adulteration and misbranding of amino acids parenteral. U. S. v. 115- Dozen of Amino Acids Parenteral Stearns. Decree of destruction. (F. D. C. No. 8643. Sample No. 2734-F.) This product was represented in its labeling as a 15-percent solution of aminc- acids derived from the acid hydrolysis of casein fortified with tryptophan, and the- 608091?-i4?2 tryptophan content of the product was represented as 1 percent of the total amino acids. Examination showed that the 'product contained approximately one-third of the amount of tryptophan declared. On or about Oetober 28,1942, the- United States attorney for the Western Dis- trict of Missouri filed a libel against 11? dozen of the above-named product at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been .shipped in interstate com- merce on or about September 23, 1942, from Detroit, Mich., by Frederick Stearns and Co.; and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its' strength differed from that which it was represented to possess on its label, "Amino Acids, 15 percent solution, Tryptophane 1? of Amino Acids." It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements appearing in its labeling, (carton) "Amino Acids * * * 15 percent solution * . * * Trypto- phane 1.0? of Amino Acids," (circular inside carton) "Each batch of Amino Acid Stearns is standardized according to the following average analysis Trypto- phane added (1? total Amino Acids) 1?," were false and misleading since the article did not contain the amount of tryphtophan stated. On January 26, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered ordering that the product be destroyed.
