5598. Misbranding of Alberty vitamin-mineral capsules.   IT. S. v. 34 Packages' of
Alberty Vitamin-Mineral Capsules.   Decree of condemnation and destruc- 
tion.   (F. D. C. No. 8427.   Sample No. 22906-F.)
This product contained two different-colored capsules, one designated as 
"Dark" and one designated as "Tan." The dark capsules were represented as 
containing specified amounts of vitamins A, Bi, G, C, D and E, and the tan 
capsules were represented to contain specified amounts of various minerals.
On September 28, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania filed a libel, against 34 packages, each containing 150 Alberty 
vitamin-minerat capsules, at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been 
shipped on or about April 7,1942, from Hollywood, Calif., by Alberty Food Prod- 
ucts:; and charging that it was misbranded in: that the statements appearing 
/in its labeling representing that the dark capsules contained vitamins and that 
' the, .tan capsules contained minerals were false and misleading, since the dark 
capsules did hot contain vitamins but contained minerals and the tan capsules 
did not contain minerals but did contain vitamins.
