INFORMATION FILED: July 2. 1948. District of Idaho, against Eddy Bakery^ 
Boise, Inc., Boise, Idaho, James E. Opened, president, and Haskell Pfeffer 
manager of the Boise. Idaho, plant.
I ALLEGED SHIPMENT:    Between the approximate dates of June 23 and October
2, 1947, from the State of Idaho into the States of Nevada and Oregon. 
> LABEL IN PART: "Eddy's Pan Dandy White Bread ¥ * * 1 Lb. [or "iy2 
I Lbs."]," "Eddy's Potato Bread Net Weight 1 Lb. 8 Ozs.," "Eddy's Honey Curled 
[ Wheat Bread * * * Wt. 1 Lb.," or "Eddy's Raisin Bread 1 Lb." 
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the following statements on 
the labels of the white bread and potato bread, "One half pound of this bread 
supplies you with at least the following amount or percentages of your 
minimum daily requirement for these essential food substances: Thiamine 
tf (Vitamin Bi) 55%; riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 17.5%; niacin (another 'B' 
Vitamin) 5 milligrams; iron 40%," were false and misleading, since one-half 
pound of the bread would provide less than 55 percent of the minimum daily 
| requirements of thiamine and less than 5 milligrams of iron and (one lot of 
white bread and one lot of potato bread) less than 17.5 percent of the minimum 
daily requirements of riboflavin and less than 5 milligrams of niacin; and, 
Section 403 (e) (2), all of the bread failed to bear labels containing accurate 
statements of the quantity of the contents. (The loaves of bread weighed less 
than the labeled weight.)
I DISPOSITION :    September 7, 1948.   Pleas of nolo contendere having been entered 
I on behalf of the defendants, the corporation was fined $230 and each individual 
defendant was fined $10.
