NATURE OF CHARGE : Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), the vitamin C constituent 
of orange juice had been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted from the 
product; and, Section 402 (b)*(4), yellow coal-tar dyes had been mixed with 
the product so as to make it appear to be better and of greater value than it 
was, namely, an article containing substantially more orange juice than was 
actually present.
Further adulteration, Section 402 (b) (4), the product consisted of a mixture 
of reconstituted orange juice to which had been added additional water, sugar, 
dextrose, citric acid, and orange oil emulsion, which substances so added to the 
product increased the bulk thereof and made it appear to be better and of 
greater value than it was, namely, an article containing substantially more 
orange juice than was actually present.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the various label statements "Orangeade," 
"Orangeade Nature's food and drink * * * Good for you," "from the 
juice of tree ripened fruit," "Orange," "A Real Fruit Drink," and "from tree 
ripened fruit," and the general design of the labels, predominately orange in 
color, simulating the skin of an orange with drops of orange juice and pictures 
of a pitcher and glasses containing an orange-colored liquid, were false and 
misleading since they represented and suggested that the product was composed 
in whole or in a large part of orange juice, whereas it contained only 15 percent 
reconstituted orange juice and only a small fruition of the vitamin C content 
of orange juice.
The product was further misbranded when introduced into, while in, and 
while held for sale after shipment in, interstate commerce, within the meaning 
of Section 403 (a), in that the labeling failed to reveal the fact that the article 
contained in insignificant amount of orange juice and was essentially devoid 
of vitamin C, a fact which was material in the light of the label statements 
and the general design of the labels, which as used on the cans in which the 
product was packed, and displayed in retail grocery stores in juxtaposition or 
close placement to orange and other fruit juices packed in cans of similar size 
and shape, created the impression that the article was orange juice or its 
equivalent, when, in fact, it contained only about 15 percent reconstituted 
orange juice and was essentially devoid of vitamin C.
