1966. Misbranding of canned  cherries.     IT.  S. v.  62  Cases of  Canned  Cherries.
Default decree of condemnation.     Product ordered delivered to a local 
charitable institution.     (F. D. C. No. 4213.    Sample No. 65440-E.)
On or about April 8, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern Dis- 
trict of Texas filed a libel against 62 cases, each containing 6 No. 10 cans, of 
cherries at Lubbock, Tex., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about December 11, 1940, by Pleasant Grove Canning Co. 
from Pleasant Grove, Utah; and charging that it was misbranded in that it 
purported to be a food for which a standard of quality had been prescribed 
by regulations as provided by law, but its quality fell below such standard 
and its label did not bear, in such manner and form as the regulations specify, 
a statement that it fell below such standard. The article was labeled in part: 
(Cans) "Alpine Brand Red Sour Pitted Cherries in Water."
On May 29, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a local charitable in- 
stitution.
