The defendant has been charged with [adulteration] [misbranding]
of [food] [drugs] (or) [cosmetics] with intent to cause serious injury or
death.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant
[a. [Manufactured] [sold] [delivered] [offered for sale] [held for
sale] a [food] [drug] [cosmetic], knowing that it was [adulterated]
[misbranded]]
[b. Knowingly [adulterated] [misbranded] a [food] [drug]
[cosmetic].]
And Second, that in so doing the defendant intended to cause
serious injury or death.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant
[a. [manufactured] [sold] [delivered] [offered for sale] [held for
sale] a [food] [drug] [cosmetic], knowing it was [adulterated]
[misbranded].]
[b. knowingly [adulterated] [misbranded] a [food] [drug]
[cosmetic]] intending to cause serious injury or death, it would be your
duty
to find the defendant guilty. If you do not so find or if you have a
reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty
to return a verdict of not guilty.
