On December 4, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 1% 420-pound drums of cod-liver-oil concentrate at 
Plain.field, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com-
168137*—42 4
merce on or about September 9, 1940, by the Whitmoyer Laboratories, Inc., from 
Myerstown, Pa.; and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. The 
article was labeled in part: "Whitmoyer Quality Five X Concentrate."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, 
namely, vitamin D, had been, in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom. 
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the label, "Five X Con- 
centrate is guaranteed to contain not less than 425 A. O. A. C. units -Vitamin D 
per gram," was false and misleading since it was incorrect.
The article was also alleged to be adulterated and misbranded under the 
provisions of the law applicable to drugs, as reported in D. D. N.. J. No. 480.
On June 2, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
