VIOLATIONS CHARGED: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the labeling statements, "A Tonic Food Extremely Rich In Vitamins B and GK * * * These Yeast Tablets are rich in Vitamins B and G, which have been found very helpful as a stimulant to the appetite," were false and misleading since the product was not a rich source of vitamins B and G, was not a tonic food, and was not effective as a stimulant; and, Section 403 (j), the product purported to be and was repre- sented as a food for special dietary uses by man by reason of its vitamin Bi and vitamin G content, and its label failed to bear, as required by the regulation, a statement of the proportion of the minimum daily requirements of vitamin Bi and vitamin G furnished by a specified quantity of the product when consumed during a period of 1 day. DISPOSITION: February 12, 1945. No claimant having appeared, judgment was entered ordering the product destroyed. INDEX TO NOTICES OF JUDGMENT F. N. J. NOS. 7901 TO 7925 PRODUCTS N. J.
