CHARGE: 402(b) (1)—when shipped and while held for sale, the valuable con- 
stituent, riboflavin, had been in part omitted or abstracted from the article; 
403(a)—the label statement "Each fluid oz. (2 tablespoonfuls) contain: * * * 
Riboflavin (B2) 4 mg." was false and misleading; 403(a)—the label statements 
"M.D.R. for Niacinamide * * * not established" and "Need in human nutrition 
for * * * Methionine is not established" were false and misleading since they 
were contrary to fact; and 403(j)—the article purported to be and was repre- 
sented as a food for special dietary use by reason of its vitamin and mineral 
content, and its label failed to bear, as required by regulations, a statement of 
the proportion of the minimum daily requirement for vitamins Bi (thiamine), 
B2 (riboflavin), and niacin and -niacinamide and iron supplied by the article 
when consumed in a specified quantity during the period of one day.
