2981. Misbranding of imitation vanilla flavor and adulteration and misbranding of lemon flavor. - U.-S; v. 649-Cases of.Imitation ¦•^a»^il»>FAav©r and 14 Cases and 1,944 Bottles of Lemon Flavor. Default decrees of condem- nation and destruction. (F. L-. C. Nos. 4598, 6701. Sample Nos. 22451-E, 52311-E, 52312-E.) Examination showed that the imitation vanilla flavor contained ingredients not- declared on the label, and the word "imitation" followed the name of .the article but was in smaller type; and the lemon flavor was deficient in lemon oil. On or about May 7, 1841, and January 19, 1942, the United States attorneys for the Western District of Washington and the Northern "District of California filed libels against 649 cases each containing 8 bottles of imitation vanilla flavor and 14 cases each containing 8 bottles of lemon flavor at Bremerton, Wash., and 1,944 bottles of lemon flavor at Mare Island, Calif., alleging that the articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about December 2 and 22, 1940, by Purity Stores, Ltd., from New York, N. Y.; and charging that the imitation vanilla flavor was misbranded and that the lemon flavor was adulterated and misbranded. The imitation vanilla flavor was alleged to be misbranded (1) in thatit was an imitation of another food and its label failed to bear in type of uniform size and prominence the word "imitation" and immediately thereafter the name of the food imitated;'and (2) in that it was fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear the common or usual name of each ingredient. The lemon flavor was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance, namely, a non-alcoholic lemon flavor containing less than 20 percent of oil of lemon, had been substituted for non-alcoholic lemon flavor containing 20 percent of oil of lemon. It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements, "Formula: Oil of lemon (U. S. P. (by volume)) 20 Per Cent," and "This lemon flavor has four times the flavoring strength of ordinary commercial lemon extracts. One tea- spoonful of this fiavor is equal in strength to four teaspoonfuls of commercial extract and should be used accordingly," were false and misleading since it contained less than 20 percent of oil of lemon. On September 29, 194L and July 13, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judg- ments of condemnation were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
