LIBEL FILED :   February 20,1945, Western District of Washington.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about June 9,1944, by the Empire Freight Co., from 
Los Angeles, Calif. The shipment was invoiced by the California Associated 
Products Co., Los Angeles, Calif.
PRODUCT: 200 cases, each containing 24 8-ounce bottles, of orange-, lemon-, and 
grape-flavored sirups at Everett, Wash.
LABEL IN PART: "Home Brand Nectar Syrup Orange [or "Lemon" or "Grape"]

NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), valuable constituents, 
concentrated orange juice, lemon juice, and grape juice, had been omitted 
in whole or in part from the respective articles; and, Section 402 (b) (4), 
artificial color and acids, plus orange oil in the orange-flavored sirup, lemon 
oil in the lemon-flavored sirup, and artificial flavor in the grape-flavored sirup, 
had been added to the respective articles and mixed and packed with them 
so as to make them appear to be sirups containing a substantial amount 
of concentrated orange, lemon, or grape juice, which sirups are better or of 
greater value than the articles were.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statements, "Contains * * * 
Concentrated Orange Juice * * * making jelly and marmalade * * > * 
Orange Juice—simply add water to this syrup and drink as orange juice," 
"Contains *' * * Concentrated Lemon Juice * * * can also be used

Contains * * * Concentrated Grape Juice, and Other Natural Flavors 
* * '* making jelly and marmalade * * * Grape Juice—simply by 
adding water to 'Nectar Syrup' drink as grape juice," were false and mis- 
leading as applied to the articles, which contained inconsequential amounts 
of concentrated orange juice, concentrated lemon juice, and concentrated 
grape juice.
