31098. Adulteration and misbranding of jams.     IT.   S. v.  35   Cases  of Assorted
Jams. Consent decree of condemnation. Products ordered released 
under bond for relabeling. (F. & D. No. 44643. Sample Nos. 35851-D, 
35852-D, 35853-D.)
These jams were found to contain apple in addition to the fruit indicated 
on the labels.
On January 9, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Connecti- 
cut,, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed a libel against 
35 cases, of assorted jams at New London, Conn., alleging that the article had 
been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 3, 1939, from Fort 
H. G. Wright, N. Y.; and charging that they were adulterated and misbranded. 
The articles were labeled in part: "Nature's Own Pure Raspberry [or "Straw- 
berry" or "Peach"] Jam Manufactured by Fresh Grown Preserve Corp. Brook- 
lyn, New York."
The articles were alleged to be adulterated in that apple had been substituted 
in whole or in part for the said articles.
They were alleged to be misbranded in that the statements on the labels, 
"Pure Raspberry Jam," "Pure Strawberry Jam," and "Pure Peach Jam," were 
false and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead the purchaser when 
applied to products containing apple. They were alleged to be misbranded 
further in that they were imitations of and were offered for sale under the 
distinctive names of other articles.
On June 3, 1940, the Fresh Grown Preserve Corporation, claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered, 
and it was ordered that the products be released under bond conditioned that 
they be relabeled in accordance with the requirements of the law.
