: 
On July 8,1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsyl- 
vania filed an information against Jenks Food Co., a corporation, Chester, Pa., 
alleging shipment on or about September 30, 1941, from the State of Pennsylvania 
into the State of Maryland of a quantity of Asco Wheat Puffs which were adulter- 
ated and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "New Vitamin Showered 
Enriched With 360 U. S. P, XI Vitamin D Per Ounce of Cereal."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent^ vitamin D, had 
been in part omitted or abstracted therefrom.
It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the statement "Enriched With 360 
U; S. P. XI Vitamin D Per Ounce of Cereal" was false and misleading since it 
contained not more than 180 U. S. P. XI units of vitamin D per ounce, and (2) in 
that it was fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear 
the common or usual name of each Such ingredient,
On October 12, 1942, a plea of nolo contendere was entered on behalf of the 
defendant and the court imposed a fine of $25.
