purposes of coloring only, a coal-tar color, dimethylamifioazobenzene, known as
Butter Yellow (Colour Index 19), which had not been listed for use in drugs
in accordance with the regulations and was other than one from a batch that
had been certified in accordance with the regulations.
Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the label statement, "Green Food Color," was
false and misleading since it represented and suggested that the article con-
tained a color which was fit for use in coloring foods, whereas the article con-
tained dimethylaminoazobenzene, a noncertified dye which is unfit for use in
foods; and, Section 502 (b) (2), the article failed to bear a label containing
an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents; in fact, the label bore no
statement of the quantity of the contents.
DISPOSITION : July 10, 1945. A plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of
the defendant; the court imposed a fine of $100.
