(F. D. C. No. 23539.   Sample Nos. 69068-H, 69069-H.)
the label were false and misleading, since they suggested benefits which could 
not be derived from the article: (14-ounce size) "Enurgets * * * Puts 
Pep in Your Step * * * * For Quick Building of Energy That Lasts * * * 
for maximum nutrition and energy building * * * for * * * all who 
must stay alert mentally and physically * * * give a quick pick-up and 
lasting energy * * * take away that tired feeling * * * aid diges- 
tion * * * ease away nervous headache * * * put pep in your step"; 
(3-ounce size) "Enurgets * * * Puts Pep in Your Step * * * for max- 
imum nutrition Quick lasting energy for people on the go * * * for a 
quick pick-up and lasting energy for work or play * * * For Quickly build- 
ing energy that Lasts." The following label statements were misleading, since 
the principle ingredient of the product was sucrose: (14-ounce size) "Dehy- 
drated, Powered Whole Soy Bean; Germ of Whole Wheat; Dextrose; Barley 
Malt; Soy Milk; Deep Sea Kelp; Mint Leaves; Carrot; Celery; Calcium Carbo- 
nate; Iron; Phosphorus; Iodine; Special Blended Flavoring"; (3 ounce size) 
"Dehydrated, Powdered Whole Soy Bean; Germ of Whole Wheat; Dextrose; 
Skim Milk; Barley Malt; Deep Sea Kelp; Mint Leaves; Rhubarb Plant; Spin- 
ach; Carrot; Celery."
Further misbranding, Section 403 (i) (2), the label failed to bear the common 
or usual name of each ingredient, since sucrose was not declared. Section 
403 (j), the product purported to be and was represented as a food for special 
dietary uses by reason of the reference on the label to the presence of calcium, 
iron, phosphorus, and iodine, and by reason of the statement "Natural * * * 
Vitamins, Minerals"; and its label failed to bear the information concerning its 
vitamin and mineral properties as has been determined to be, and by regulation 
prescribed as, necessary in order fully to inform purchasers as to its value for 
such special dietary uses, since its label failed to bear a statement of the kind 
and quantities of vitamins and the quantities of minerals supplied by the article 
when consumed in a specified quantity during a period of one day. Section 403 
(e) (2), (3-ounce size) the article failed to bear a label containing an accurate 
statement of the quantity of the contents. (The packages contained less than 
the amount declared.)
