1996. Misbranding of canned peas.    ŁT. §. v. 95 Cases of Canned Peas.    Default
decree of condemnation.     Produet ordered delivered to charitable insti- 
tution.    (F. D. C. No. 4S06.    Sample No. 29S10-E.)
This product was labeled "Fancy" but was too mature for such designation.
On April 11, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Ohio filed a libel against 95 cases of canned peas at Cincinnati, Ohio, alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 
9, 1941, by the Lakeside Packing Co., from Plainview, Minn.; and charging 
that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part:. (Cans) "Sunshine Brand 
Fancy Sifted Peas."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the term "Fancy" was 
false and misleading as applied to overmature peas.
On May 24, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution.
