INFORMATION FILED: On September 17, 1943, in the Southern District of Iowa 
against the Cereal Lactic Co., Inc., Woodward, Iowa.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about May 13 and November 20, 1942, from the 
State of Iowa into the States of Ohio and Missouri.
VIOLATION CHARGED: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statement on the label 
which represented that the food contained viable lactic acid organism cultures 
was false and misleading since the article did not contain viable lactic acid 
organism cultures; and, Section 403 (j), the article purported to be and was rep- 
resented as a food for special dietary use by man by reason of its vitamin 
properties and filtrate factor, but its label did not bear, as required by the 
regulations, a statement of the proportion of the minimum daily requirements 
for vitamin A, vitamin Bi, vitamin D, and riboflavin which would be sup- 
plied by the food when consumed in a specified quantity during a period of 
1 day; and its label did not bear a statement that the need for filtrate factor 
in human nutrition has not been established.
DISPOSITION: November 30, 1943. A plea of guilty having been entered, a fine 
of $25 on each of counts 1 and 2 was imposed, with costs.
