3745. Misbranding of canned peas.    V. S. v. 202 Cases of Canned Peas.    Decree
cf forfeiture.    Product ordered released under bond to be relabeled.    (F.
D. C. No. 6524.    Sample No. 79053-B.)
On December 16, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Indiana filed a libel against 202 cases of canned peas at Anderson, Ind., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 12, 1941, by Ladoga Canning Co. from Washington Court House, Ohio; 
and charging that it was misbranded in that it was a food for which a standard 
of quality had been prescribed by regulations as provided by law, but its quality 
fell below such standard and its label failed to bear, in such manner and form 
as the regulations specify, a statement that it fell below such standard.
On May 5, 1942, the Ladoga Canning Co. having appeared as claimant, judg- 
ment was entered finding the product misbranded and ordering its forfeiture. 
^Thereupon, the claimant filed a petition to relabel the goods, paid costs of the 
proceedings, and executed a bond; and the court ordered the product released 
to the claimant to be relabeled and disposed of in conformity with the law.
