LIBEL FILED :    May 2, 1945, District of Arizona.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about May 6, 1944, by the Ben Hur Products Co., 
from Los Angeles, Calif.
PRODUCT: 3 cartons, each containing 9 dozen packages of 5 envelopes each, of 
unflavored gelatin with vitamin Bi, at Phoenix, Ariz. Examination showed

U. S. P. Gelatin with Vitamin B*."
VIOLATIONS CHARGED: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), a valuable constituent, 
vitamin Bi, had been in part omitted from the article.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statement on the package, "333 U. S. P. 
Units Vitamin B2 in each envelope herein. Contains 5 envelopes. Thus each 
furnishes minimum adult daily requirement of vitamin Bi," and the statement 
on the envelopes, "300 International Units of Vitamin Bi added," were false and 
misleading as applied to an article containing less than the stated amounts 
of vitamin Bi.
DISPOSITION : September 18, 1945. No claimant having appeared, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable 
institution.
