28159.    Sample Nos. 51696-K, 52808-K, 52809-K, 52824-K, 55821-K.) 
INFORMATION FILED:   April 14, 1950, Western District of Missouri, against the 
Waggoner-Gates Milling Co., a corporation, Independence, Mo.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about July 12, August 12 and 26, and September 6, 
1949, from the State of Missouri into the States of Kentucky and Oklahoma.
LABEL IN PART: "Queen of the Pantry Enriched [or "Enriched Self-Rising"] 
Flour * * * 8 ounces [or "Oz."] of enriched self-rising flour contain not 
less than the following proportions of the minimum daily requirements of 
Vitamin Bi 100%, Riboflavin 30%, Iron 65%, Calcium 66%, and 8 mg. of
Niacin."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), valuable constituents 
had been omitted in part from the articles. (All of the shipments were deficient 
in vitamin B^ and, in addition, two of the shipments were deficient in riboflavin 
and one shipment was deficient in niacin.)
Misbranding, Section 403 (g) (1), the products failed to conform to the 
definition and standard of identity for enriched flour and enriched self-rising 
flour since they contained in each pound less than 2.0 milligrams of thiamine 
(vitamin Bi), (2 lots only) less than 1.2 milligrams of riboflavin, and (1 lot 
only) less than 16.0 milligrams of niacin. Further misbranding, Section 403 
(a), the label statements "8 ounces * * * contain not less than the follow- 
ing proportions of the minimum daily requirements of Vitamin Bi 100%, Ribo- 
flavin 30%, * * * and 8 Mg. of Niacin" were false and misleading since 
the products in all shipments contained, in 8 ounces, less than 100% of the 
minimum daily requirement for vitamin Bi; the product in two of the ship- 
ments contained, in 8 ©unces, less than 30% of the minimum daily requirement 
for riboflavin; and the product in one of the shipments contained, in 8 ounces, 
less than 16.0 milligrams of niacin.
DISPOSITION : April 21,1950. A plea of nolo contendere having been entered, the 
defendant was fined $59.
