4242. Adulteration and misbranding of feeding: oil.    U. S. v. Fish Products Co.
Plea of nolo contendere. Fine, $50. (F. D. C. No. 7679. Sample Nos. 
54368-E, 54374-E.)
On September 17,1942, the United States attorney for the District of Delaware 
filed an information against the Fish Products Co., a corporation, Lewes, Del., 
alleging delivery at Lewes on or about October 13 and November 17, 1941, for 
introduction into the State of New Jersey of quantities of feeding oil that was 
adulterated and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Drum) "Dis- 
tributed By The Fox Company Smith's Qualadee Finest Quality—Destearinated 
A and D Feeding Oil."       .
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, 
vitamin D, had been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom. It 
was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements (drums, shipped October 
13,1941) "100 A. O. A. C. Chick Units Vitamin D Per Gram," and (drums shipped 
November 17, 1941) "400 A. O. A. C. Chick Units Vitamin D Per Gram," were 
false and misleading since the product in the former shipment contained not 
more than 60 A. O. A. 0. chick units of vitamin D per gram and that in the 
latter shipment contained not more than 250 A. O. A. C. chick units of vitamin 
D per gram.
On October 23, 1942, a plea of nolo contendere having been entered on behalf 
of the defendant, the court imposed a fine of $50.
