On or about April 16, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern Dis- 
trict of Illinois filed a libel again 143 cases, each containing 24 No. 2 cans, of 
string beans at Cicero, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
Sampson Canning Co. from Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., on February 24 and March 
11, 1941; and charging that it was misbranded in that the term "Fancy," appear- 
ing in the labeling, was false and misleading as applied to an article which 
showed the presence of spotted beans and some overmature bKans. The article 
was labeled in part: "Security Brand Fancy Cut Green BKans."
On May 26, 1941, Mid City Wholesale Grocers, Inc., claimant, having admitted 
the' allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the prod- 
uct was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be relabeled under the 
supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
