878e. Adulteration and misbranding of-oil of lemon. V. S. v. Standard Syn- 
thetics, Inc. Plea of guilty. Total flue, $500 on 5 counts; sentence sus- 
pended on 3 counts. (F. D. C. No. 10623. Sample Nos. 11304-F, 11326-F 
to 11328-F, incl.)
a mixture of distillates of lemon oil, had been substituted in whole or in part 
for oil of lemon or oil of lemon U. S. P., which the article purported or was 
represented to be.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statements, "Oil of Lemon" and 
"Oil of Lemon' * * * U. S. P.," were false and misleading since the article 
was not oil of lemon and it did not conform with the specifications of the 
United States Pharmacopoeia for oil of lemon; Section 403 (b), the article 
was offered for sale under the name of another food, i. e., oil of lemon U. S. P.; 
Section 403 (c), it was an imitation of another food and- its label failed to 
bear, in type of uniform size and prominence, the word "imitation" and, imme- 
diately thereafter, the name of the food imitated; and, Section 403 (i) <2), it 
was fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear the 
common or usual name of each such ingredient.
A portion of the article was also alleged to be adulterated under the provi- 
sions of the law applicable to drugs, as reported in notices of judgment on drugs 
and devices, No. 1368.
DISPOSITION: October 13, 1944. A plea of guilty having been entered, the 
defendant was fined $100 on each of counts 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8, charging adultera- 
tion of the product both as a food and a drug. Imposition of sentence was 
suspended on counts 2, 4, and 7, charging Misbranding of the product as a food.
