1985. Adulteration and misbranding of canned peas. V. S. v. Jackson Brokerage 
Co., Inc., Ben H. Jackson, Milton C. Mankowitz;, Amboy Food Corpora- 
tion, and Samuel Mankowitz.     Plea of guilty.     Fines,  $612. >    (F. D.   C.
No. 2101.    Sample No. 77706-E.)
This product was represented on the label as fresh Early June peas, but it 
consisted of soaked dried peas. The label also bore a statement that it had 
been packed by a firm other than the real packer.
On September 3, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed an information against the Jackson Brokerage Co., Inc., Newark, 
¦N. J., Ben H. Jackson and Milton C. Mankowitz, ofiicers of Jackson Brokerage 
Co., Inc.; and Amboy Food Corporation, Irvington, N. J., and Samuel Manko- 
witz, president of Amboy Food Corporation, alleging shipment by said defendants 
from the State of New Jersey into the State of Pennsylvania on or about August 
29, 1939, of a consignment of canned peas that were adulterated and misbranded. 
They were labeled in part: "Pultney Brand Early June Peas Packed by K. M. 
Davies Co., Inc., at Williamson, N. Y.   Contents 1 lb. 4 oz."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that soaked dried peas had been 
substituted in whole and in partfor Early June peas, which it purported to be.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements "Early June Peas," 
together with a design of peas in pods, and "Packed by K. M. Davies Co., Inc. 
at Williamson, N. Y.," borne on the label, were false and misleading since it did 
not consist of Early June peas but of soaked dried peas; and it had not been 
packed by K. M. Davies Co., Inc., Williamson, N. T.
On November 25, 1940, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendants, sentences were imposed which on January 17, 1941, were reduced to 
the following: Jackson Brokerage Co., Inc., fine of $50 on each of the two 
counts; Milton C. Mankowitz, fine of $400 on count I and placed on probation 
for 2 years on count II; Amboy Food Corporation, fine of $1 on each of two 
counts; Samuel Mankowitz, fine of $10 on count I and 6 months' imprisonment 
on count II, jail sentence suspended and defendant placed on probation for 2 
years; and Ben H. .Jackson, fine of $50 on each of the two counts.
Nos. 1986 to 1993, inclusive, report actions based on interstate shipment 
of canned peas that were substandard because of the presence of excessively 
mealy peas, as evidenced by the fact that their alcohol-insoluble solids amounted 
to more than 23.5 percent, and which were not properly labeled to indicate that 
they were substandard.
