424. Misbranding of   canned  mixed  vegetables.     U.   S.   v.   45   Cases   of   Mixed
Vegetables.      Default   decree   of   condemnation.      Product   ordered   de- 
livered to a charitable1 institution.    (F. D. C. No. 815.    Sample No. 70669-D.)
This product was a mixture of carrots, string beans, lima beans, and peas. 
The labeling was misleading since the mixture contained no celery, beets (or 
pimientos), and potatoes, which were depicted on the vignette on the label 
while it did contain carrots and lima beans which were not shown on the 
vignette. .
On October 27, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado 
filed a libel against 45 cases of canned mixed vegetables at Denver, Colo., 
consigned by the Rocky Mountain Packing Corporation, alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 9, 
1939, from Murray, Utah; and charging that it was misbranded. The article 
was labeled in part: (Cans) "Y B Your Best Brand [vignette of a dish of mixed 
vegetables]    Packed for the Yoelin Bros.   Mercantile Co. Denver, Colo."
Misbranding was alleged in that the vignette was false and misleading 
when applied to an article that did not contain celery, beets (or pimientos), 
and potatoes, but did contain carrots and lima bKans.
On December 7, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable 
institution.
