4250. Misbranding of cod-liver oil.    U. S. v. 1    30-grallon drum of God-Liver Oil.
Default decree of  condemnation  and destruction.     (F. D.  C.  No.  7586. 
Sample No. 71520-E.)
This product was not cod-liver oil of Pharmacopoeial standard but was off in 
color and odor and high in free fatty acids. It contained smaller amounts of 
Vitamin D and Vitamin A than declared on its label.
On May 29, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of Mis- 
souri filed a libel against 1 30-gallon drum of cod-liver oil at St. Louis, Mo., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
February 7, 1942, by the Swiftide Company from Portland, Maine; and charging 
that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Swiftide Brand Cod 
Liver Oil."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the name "Cod Liver Oil" and 
the statements "Guaranteed to Contain not Less Than 200 A. O. A. C. Units Vita- 
min D," and "Not Less Than 1,000 Units Vitamin A per Gramme," were false 
when applied to an article that was not cod-liver oil and that contained not more 
than 100 A. O. A. C. Units of Vitamin D and not more than 700 U. S. P. Units of 
Vitamin A per gram. The article was also alleged to be adulterated and mis- 
branded under the provisions of the law applicable to drugs reported in D. D. 
N.J. No. 776.
On June 30,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
