7348. Adulteration and misbranding of vitamin A tablets.    TJ. S. v. 3 Cans and 1
Can of Vitamin A Tablets.    Default decree of condemnation and destruc- 
tion.     (F. D. C. No. 12161.    Sample No. 957-F.)
LIBEL FILED :   April 13,1944, Northern District of Indiana.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT:    On or about January 24 and February 15, 1944, by the
V. M. V. Food Products Co., Oakland, Calif. 
PRODUCT:   3 cans containing approximately 25,000 vitamin A tablets, and 1 can
containing approximately 12,500 vitamin A tablets, at Hammond, Ind. 
Examination showed that the article contained less than 2,500 U. S. P. units
of vitamin A per tablet.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statement, "1 tablet supplies 25% more 
than the average daily requirements for Vitamin A," was false and misleading 
since the article contained substantially less vitamin A than was represented, 
the minimum adult daily requirement of vitamin A being 4,000 U. S. P. units.
DISPOSITION : October 23,1944. No claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
