fault decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. Di C. No. 16152.    Sam- 
ple No. 5821-H.)
LIBEL FILED :   May 17,1945, District of New Jersey.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT:   On or about March 6, 1945, by Edward I. Lowell, from
New York, N. Y. 
PRODUCT:   3   1-gallon jugs of liquid stabilizer- at Paterson, N. J.   Analysis
showed that the product was essentially an aqueous solution of monochloracetic
acid.   It was intended for use by dealers as a preservative in chocolate found
tain sirups, and it was represented by the shippers as a preservative. t
LABEL IN PART: "Liquid Stabilizer An Inhibitor Containing Monochloracetic 
Acid."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the name "Liquid Stabilizer" 
was misleading since it created the impression that the article was wholesome 
and suitable for use as a component of food used by man, whereas the label- 
ing failed to reveal the material fact that monochloracetic acid is a poisonous 
and deleterious substance, which caused the product to be poisonous and 
deleterious and which rendered it unwholesome and unsuitable for use as a 
component of food.
DISPOSITION: July 13, 1945. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
