On May 8, 1944, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Wisconsin filed a libel against 9 bottles of'grapefruit-flavored beverage base at 
Mineral Point, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
March 10, 1944, by the National Fruit Flavor Co., Inc., New Orleans, JJSL. ; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it contained an added poisonous and 
deleterious substance, monochloracetic acid, which was unsafe within the mean- 
ing of the law, and in that it was an added poisonous and deleterious sub- 
stance which was not required in the production of the article and could have 
been avoided by good manufacturing practice. It was labeled in part: "Grape- 
fruit Flavored Beverage Base 8-1."
On June 19, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered- and. the product was ordered destroyed.
