LIBEL FILED :   February 12,1951, Western District of Pennsylvania.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about December 21, 1950, by Mrs. Becker's Noodle 
Co., from Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
PRODUCT: 48 cases, each containing 12 12-ounce packages, of egg noodles at 
Erie, Pa.
LABEL, IN PART:    (Package)  "Pride-Of-Erie Brand   Pure Egg Noodles."
NATURE OF CHARGE : Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement "4 ounces 
of enriched noodles will contain approximately the following proportions of 
minimum daily requirements: Thiamine 50%; Riboflavin 15%" was false 
and misleading as applied to the article, which did not provide the stated 
proportions of the minimum daily requirements for vitamin Bi and riboflavin; 
and, Section 403 (g) (1), the article failed to conform to the definition and 
standard of identity for enriched noodles since it contained less than 4 milli- 
grams of thiamine (vitamin Bi) and less than 1.7 milligrams of riboflavin 
per pound, the minimums permitted by the standard.
DISPOSITION: March 7, 1951. Default decree of condemnation. The court 
ordered that the product be delivered to charitable institutions.
