INFORMATION FILED : August 1, 1946, Northern District of Illinois, against Har- 
rison's Orange Corporation, Chicago, Ill.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT:   Between the approximate dates of July 9 and September 
13, 1945, from the State of Illinois into the States of Georgia, Ohio, Iowa, 
. Missouri, Alabama, and Washington.
LABEL, IN PART: "Orange Hut Orange," or "Harrison's Day-Ray Orange 
Flavor   Syrup."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (a) (2), the articles contained 
an added deleterious substance, monochloracetic acid, which is unsafe within 
the meaning of the law since it is a substance not required in the production 
of the articles, and it could have been avoided by good manufacturing practice; 
and, Section 402 (b) (4), saccharin, a nonnutritive substance, had been added 
to the article and mixed and packed with it so as to make it appear to be a 
sugar-sweetened beverage base, which is better and of greater value than the 
article.
DISPOSITION : August 16, 1946. A plea of guilty having been entered on behalf 
of the corporation, the court imposed a fine of $500 on each of 10 counts, a 
total fine of $5,000.
