ALLEGED SHIPMENT :   On or about March 10, 1944, by Weber and Mollner, Ltd., V. 
Los Angeles, Calif.
PRODUCT:   145 pounds of Butex at Denver, Colo.
VIOLATIONS CHARGED : Misbranding, Section 403 (a), in that the label statements, 
"The Original and Only Rumex A Unique Flavor Essence For 'That Butter- 
Like Taste' Made with Natural Flavoring Oils derived from Butter, fortified 
by Oils developed from a Fermented Culture, and processed with Certain 
Fixatives 'to keep the buiter-like taste from baking out'. Enriches All Baking 
and Cooking," were false and misleading in that they implied that the article 
was essentially a natural butter flavoring, whereas it was essentially an arti- 
ficial flavoring with little, if any, natural butter flavoring; and in that the state- 
ment "Enriches All Baking and Cooking" was false and misleading since the 
product did not enrich, but artificially flavored, food; Section 403 (c), the 
product was an imitation of another food, butter flavor, 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, Section 403 (i) (2), 
the article was a flavoring sold as such, fabricated from two or more in- 
gredients, and its label failed to bear the common or usual name of each 
ingredient.
DISPOSITION: July 13, 1944. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
