Units Bi added Healthful For children and adults * * * Juice Rich Citrus Products Co. * * * Cincinnati, Ohio." VIOLATIONS CHARGED: Adulteration, Section 402 (a) (2), the product contained monochloracetic acid, which was unsafe within the meaning of the law in that it was an added poisonous and deleterious substance which was not required in the production of the article and could have been avoided by good manu- facturing practice; Section 402 (b) (2), an artiflcally colored mixture of water, about 10-percent orange juice, added orange oil, and acid had been substi- tuted for a drink rich in orange juice, which the article purported to be; Sec- tion 402 (b) (3), inferiority had been concealed by the addition of artificial color, orange oil, and acid; and, Section 402 (b) (4), artificial color, orange oil, and acid had been added to the article and mixed and packed with it, so as to make it appear to be a drink rich in California orange juice, which was better and of greater value than the article was. Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statements, "A Food Product Containing Fruit Juice * * * Juice Rich California Orange Drink * * * Health- ful," and the design of oranges on the bottle label, were false and misleading as applied to the article, which was an artificially colored mixture of water, about 10-percent 'orange juice, added orange oil, and acid, and which contained practically no vitamin C, the one vitamin which would be expected by con- sumers to be present in substantial amounts in an orange juice product; and, Section 403 (j), it purported to be and was represented as a food for special dietary uses by reason of its vitamin Bi content, and its label failed to bear, as required by the regulations, a statement of the proportion of the minimum daily requirement of vitamin Bi supplied by a specified quantity of the product customarily or usually consumed during a period of 1 day. DISPOSITION: August 22, 1944. No claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
