1998. Misbranding of canned peas.     U. S. v. 779 Cases of Canned Peas.     Product
ordered released under bond to be relabeled.     (F. D. C. No. 4217.     Sample 
No. 29542-E.)
This product was not Fancy as labeled because of the presence of numerous 
broken peas.
On April 3, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio filed a libel against 779 cases, each containing 24 No. 2 cans, of peas at 
Cleveland, Ohio, alleging that the article had been shipped by Oconomowoc 
Canning Co. from Sun Prairie, Wis., on or about September 6 and 9, 1940; 
and charging that it was misbranded in that the term "Fancy" was false and 
misleading as applied to an article that was not Fancy because of numerous 
broken peas, consisting of loose cotyledons and loose skins.
On April 14, 1941, the Oconomowoc Canning Co. having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel, judgment was entered finding the product misbranded and 
ordering that it be released under bond to be relabeled under the supervision 
of the Food and Drug Administration.
