decree ordering product released under bond to be relabeled.    (F. D. C.
No. 6795.   Sample No, 80154-E.)
Examination of this product showed that it was not of Fancy quality because 
of the presence of hard and mature kernels and particles of husk and cob.
On January 30, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio filed a libel against 171 cases of canned corn at Cleveland, Ohio, alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 
2, 1942, by the Rossville" Packing Co. from Rossville, Ill.; and charging that it 
was misbranded in that the statement "Fancy," appearing on the label, was false 
and misleading as applied to ah article that contained hard and mature kernels and
500348°—43——5
particles of husk and cob. It was labeled in part: "Weideman Boy Brand Fancy 
Country Gentleman Corn Cream Style."
- On May 5,1942, the Rossville Packing Co., claimant, having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel, judgment was entered finding the product misbranded and 
ordering that it be released under bond conditioned that it be relabeled in com- 
pliance with the law.
