2209. Adulteration and misbranding of canned tuna fish.    C.  S. v.  5  Cases  of
Canned Tuna Fish. Default decree of condemnation. Product ordered 
delivered to a charitable institution. (F. D. C. No. 3187. Sample No. 
34487-E.)
This product was yellow-fin or some similar species of tuna and not albacore 
or white meat as its label indicated.
On October 15, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 5 cases of canned tuna fish at Highland Park, N. J., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 29, 1940, by the Martel Food Corporation; and charging that it was 
adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Cans) "Martel Brand 
* * ¦ * White Meat Fancy Deluxe Tuna Fish * * * Albacore. Adolph 
Goldmark & Sons Corp. Distributors, New York, N. Y."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance, light meat tuna, 
had been substituted wholly or in part for white meat tuna ~ or albacore, which 
it purported to be.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "White Meat Fancy 
Deluxe Tuna Fish * * * Albacore" was false and misleading since the 
article was not albacore or white meat tuna. It was alleged to be misbranded 
further in that it was offered for sale under the name of another food.
On June 27, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution.
