8319. Misbranding of canned coi-n. V. S. v. 31 Cases of Canned Corn. Decree 
of condemnation. Product ordered distributed to local charitable agen- 
cies.    (P. D. C. No. 7153.   Sample No. 44747-E.)
Examination showed that this product was not of the Country Gentleman 
variety and was not of Fancy quality, as labeled.
On April 15, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado 
filed a libel against 31 cases, each containing 24 No. 2 cans, of corn at Denver, 
Colo., which had been consigned by Beaver Valley Canning Co., alleging that the 
article had been shipped on or about November 6, 1941, from Grimes, Iowa; 
and charging that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Cans) "Shurflne 
Fancy Grade Whole Kernel Country Gentleman Corn National Retailer Owned 
Grocers, Inc.   Distributors, Chicago,  Ill."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Fancy Coun- 
try Gentleman Corn" was false and misleading as applied to an article that was 
not of the Country Gentleman variety and was not of Fancy quality because 
it was too mature.
On April 24, 1942, Beaver Valley Canning Co., owner of the product, having 
signed an acceptance of service and authorization for taking of final decree, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered distributed 
to local charitable agencies.
