decree  of condemnation.    Product released under bond for relabeling.
(F. D. C. No. 6247.    Sample No. 74570-E.)
This product was not of Fancy quality because of bvermaturity and pasty, 
almost dry consistency, of the kernels.
On or about November 21, 1941, the United States attorney for the District 
of New Jersey filed a libel against 999 cases of canned corn at Newark, N. J., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
October 24, 1941, by the Empire State Canning Co. from Stacy Basin, N. Y.; and 
charging that it was misbranded in that the term "Fancy" was false and mis- 
leading as applied to com that was not of Fancy quality. The article was 
labeled in part: (Can) "Uco Our Best Grade Fancy Cream Style Golden Sweet 
Corn    *    *    *    Co Food Corp., Newark, N. J. Distributors."
On January 9, 1942, the Uco Food Corporation, claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond for relabeling under the supervision of the 
Food and Drug Administration.
