5110. Adulteration and misbranding of bar-lemon.    U.  S. v. Oy2  Cases of Bar-
Lemon,    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.
10018.    Sample No. 39304-F.) -
On May 28, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona file-3 
a libel against 9% cases, each containing 12 bottles, of bar-lemon, at Globe, Ari 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
April 24, 1943, by C. E. Strattman from San Diego, Calif.; and charging that 
it was adulterated"and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Bottles) 
"Carl's Bar-Lemon Concentrated Lemon Juice Made From California Lemons 
(design of a lemon)." 
The article was alleged to be adulterated (1) in that a valuable constituent, 
lemon juice, had been in. whole or in part omitted therefrom; (2) in that an 
artifically colored phosphoric acid solution with added dextrose had been sub- 
stituted wholly or in part for concentrated lemon juice; (3) in that inferiority 
had been concealed by the addition of artificial color; and (4) in that artificial 
color had been added thereto or mixed or packed therewith so as to make it 
appear better or of greater value than it was.
The article was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the statements, "Bar- 
Lemon Concentrated Lemon Juice Made From California Lemons * * * Use 
same as lemon juice," and the design of a lemon, were false and misleading 
as applied to an artificially colored phosphoric acid solution with added dextrose; 
(2) in that it was offered for sale under the name of another food; (3) in that 
it was an imitation of another food, concentrated lemon juice, and its label 
failed to bear, in type of uniform size and prominence, the word "imitation" and 
immediately thereafter the name of the food imitated; (4) 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; and (5) in that it contained artificial 
coloring and failed to bear labeling stating that fact.
On July 14, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
