5800. Misbranding of Soy-O Soy Bean Cereal. U. S. v. 7% Cases of Soy-O Soy 
Bean Cereal. Product ordered destroyed. (F. D. C. No. 11063. Sample 
No. 8248-F.)
On November 8, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Minne- 
sota filed a libel against 7% cases, each containing 48 1-pound packages, of 
the above-named product at Minneapolis, Minn., alleging that the article had 
been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 22, 1943, by the Fearn 
Soya Foods Company from Chicago, Ill.; and charging that it was misbranded. 
The article was labeled in part: "Dr. Fearn's Soy-O Soy Bean Cereal."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that certain statements appearing in its. 
labeling were false and misleading because they represented and suggested 
that the article was exclusively a soybean product which would furnish all 
of the nutritive factors present in soybeans; and that,it would provide all of 
the food values of a mixed diet containing milk, meat, eggs and whole wheat;, 
and that it was effective to promote growth, to insure strong and healthy 
bodies, to improve digestion, to correct and prevent nervousness, illness, and 
irritability, and to supply the complete nutritional requirements of man, whereas, 
the article was not exclusively a soybean product and would not furnish all 
of the nutritive factors present in soybeans, but contained a substantially greater 
proportion of wheat than soybeans; its use would not provide all of the food 
, values of a mixed diet containing milk, meat, eggs and whole wheat; and 
it was not effective to accomplish the results stated and implied.
On January 29, 1944, no claimant having appeared, the product was ordered 
destroyed.
