LIBEL FILED :   February 14, 1950, District of Columbia.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about December 27,1949, by Parker Vanilla Products, 
from Baltimore, Md.
PRODUCT: 1   15-gallon barrel of vanilla at Washington, D. C.
LABEL, IN PART:    (Barrel) "Pure Vanilla Flavor (Supra) A."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (4), artificial vanillin had 
been added to the product and mixed and packed with it so as to make it appear 
better and of greater value than it was.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the name "Pure Vanilla Flavor" was false 
and misleading since the product was a mixture of vanilla flavor and artificial 
vanillin; Section 403 (i) (2), the product was fabricated from two or more 
ingredients, and its label failed to bear the common or usual name of each such 
ingredient since artificial vanillin was not declared; and, Section 403 (k), the 
product contained artificial flavoring and failed to bear a label stating that fact.
DISPOSITION: March 9, 1950. Default decree of condemnation. The court 
ordered that the product be delivered to a charitable institution.
