Examination showed that this product was short weight.
On July 20, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Kansas filed 
a libel against 250 cases of tomato catsup at Goodland, Kans., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 1, 1940, by 
the Pleasant Grove ^Canning Co., from Pleasant Grove, Utah; and charging that 
it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Bottles) "Pleasant Grove 
Brand Tomato Catsup 14 Ozs. Net Weight."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "14 Ozs. Net Weight" 
was false and misleading since it was incorrect; and in that it was in package 
form and did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents.
On August 6, 1940, the Pleasant Grove Canning Co., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was. entered, and the 
product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be brought into 
compliance with the law under the supervision of this Agency.
