1917. Adulteration and misbranding of Dry-Clo "400".     V. S. v. 213 Packagres of
Dry-Clo "400."     Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D.
C. No. 2148.     Sample No. 16727-E.)
This product was represented to contain 400 A. O. A. C. chick units of vitamin 
D per gram and purported to be equivalent in feeding value to 400 D cod-liver 
oil; but it contained not more than 200 A. O. A.; C. chick units of vitamin D 
per gram, about one-half the amount declared. It contained only 77 units, 
or less, of vitamin A per gram, which is about one thirty-sixth the amount of 
vitamin A that a product equivalent to 400 D cod-liver oil should contain.
On June 15, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Oklahoma filed a libel against 213 packages of Dry-Clo "400" at Chickasha, 
Okla., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about January 13, 1940, by Nowak Mills, Inc., from Chicago, Ill.: and charging 
that it was adulterated and misbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that the valua-ble constituents, 
namely, vitamins D and A, had been wholly or in part omitted or abstracted 
therefrom.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements in 
the labeling were false and misleading as applied to an article that contained 
not more than 200 A. O. A. C. chick units of vitamin D per gram, and not more 
than 77 units of vitamin A per gram: "Dry-Clo Vitamins D-A Highly Forti- 
fied * * * 1 Lb. of Dry-Clo '400' Equals 5 pints of Regular 85 D Cod Liver 
Oil (In Vitamin D Potency) : * * * Dry-Clo '400' contains not less than 
400 AOAC chick units of vitamin D per gram: * * * Dry-Clo '400', first 
concentrated to over 100 times the potency of regular 85 D oil and then reduced 
to contain not less than 400 AOAC chick units of vitamin D per gram * * * 
When Dry-Clo '400' is used in place of ordinary 85 D or fortified 400 D oils 
you need not change your formula. Determine the amount of oil you customarily 
use and substitute Dry-Clo '400' according to the following table: [tables rep- 
resenting that 1 pound of Dry-Clo '400' would equal 1 pound of 400 D oils 
or 5 pints of 85 D oil, and would deliver 181,600 units of vitamin D and other 
quantities in proportion]."
On November 26, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
