Fermentation Inhibitor. Default decree of condemnation and destruc- 
tion.    (F. D. C. No. 16140.    Sample No. 28746-H.)
JJIBEL FILED :   June 22,1945, Western District of Washington.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about September 22 and December 10,1943, and Jan- 
uary 8 and September 28,1944, by the Sethness Products Co., from Chicago, Ill.
PRODUCT:    18   1-gallon bottles of 505 Fermentation Inhibitor at Seattle, Wash.
J^ATTJEE OF CHARGE : Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the labeling of the article was 
misleading since the name "505 Fermentation Inhibitor" in combination with 
the label statements, "Contains: Water, Acetic Derivatives, Food Acids and
755525-—48-
423
esters and ethers of Monochloracetic acid. Use: To be used in Acid products 
to prevent lactic and alcoholic fermentation and the growth and multiplica- 
tion of yeast bacteria," created the impression that the article was wholesome 
and suitable for use as a component of food used by man. The article con- 
tained monochloracetic acid, which is a poisonous and deleterious substance, 
and its labeling failed to reveal the material fact, in the light of such representa- 
tion, that the article contained a poisonous and deleterious substance which 
would render it unwholesome and unsuitable for use as a component of food 
used by man. 
DISPOSITION : March 25, 1946. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
