(F. D. C. NO. 25761.    Sample No. 12719-K.)
LIBEL FILED :   On or about September 23, 1948, District of New Jersey.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about June 25, 1948, by Magic Chef Food Products 
Co., from Bridgeport, Pa.
PRODUCT: 10 cases, each containing 24 8-ounce packages, of noodles at Camden, 
N.J.
LABEL IN PART:    (Package) "Magic Chef Enriched Egg Noodles."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), Valuable constituents, 
thiamine (vitamin Bt), riboflavin (vitamin B2), and iron, had been in part 
omitted from the product.
Misbranding, Seetion 403 (g) (1), the product purported to be and was 
represented as enriched egg noodles, a food for which a definition and standard 
of identity has been prescribed by the regulations, and it failed to conform 
to such definition and standard. The product contained less than 2 milli- 
grams of thiamine, less than 1.20 milligrams of riboflavin, and less than 13 
milligrams of iron per pound, whereas the regulations require that enriched 
egg noodles contain not less than 4 milligrams of thiamine, not less than 1.7 
milligrams of riboflavin, and not less than 13 milligrams of iron per pound. 
Further misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement "Each four ounces 
of this product provides the following proportions of the minimum daily 
adult requirements of these essential food substances: Vitamin Bi, 50%; 
Vitamin Ba, 15%; Iron 32.5%   *    *    *" was false and misleading as applied
to a product which did not provide the stated proportions of the minimum daily 
requirements for vitamin Bi, vitamin B2, and iron. 
DISPOSITION: October 15, 1948.   Default decree of condemnation.   It was or- 
dered that the labels of the product be destroyed and that the product be 
'delivered to a charitable organization.
