INFORMATION FILED :   February 17, 1947, Southern District of Iowa, against the
*See also No. 11754.
Cereal Lactic Co., Inc., Woodward, Iowa, and LeRoy V. Porter, M. D., vice presi- 
dent, and Edward R. Hurlock, secretary-treasurer.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about January 4, 1946, from the State of Iowa into 
the State of Ohio.
LABEL IN PART :    "Cereal Lactic   Improved Vitamin."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), a valuable constituent, 
vitamin B2 (G), had been in part omitted and abstracted from the article.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statements, "4 level teaspoonsful 
(0.4 Oz.) contain the following: * * * Vitamin B2 (G), 150 Sherman-Bour- 
quin units *' * * 4 level teaspoonsful (0.4 Oz.) supplies the following as 
compared to the adult minimum daily requirements * * * Vitamin B2 (G), 
0.2 times," were false and misleading since 4 level teaspoonsful (0.4 Oz.) of the 
article contained less than 150 Sherman-Bourquin units of vitamin B2 (G) and 
would supply less than 0.2 times the adult minimum daily requirement for 
vitamin B2 (G).
DISPOSITION : April 28, 1947. Pleas of guilty having been entered by the three 
defendants, the court imposed fines totaling $200, plus costs.
