3746. Misbranding of canned peas.    tJ. S. v. 92 Cases of Canned Peas.   Consent de¬
cree of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond for relabel- 
ing.    (F. D. C. No. 7503.    Sample No. 87593-E.)
On May 27, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia 
filed a libel against 92 cases of canned peas at Washington, D. C, alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 29, 1941, 
by A. W. Sisk & Sons from Union Mills, Md.; and charging that it was mis- 
branded. The article was labeled in part: (Cans) "Carroco Brand Early 
June Peas Contents 1 Pound 4 Ounces Packed by John W. Humbert Union 
Mills, Md."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that it purported to be 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 June 19, 1942, John W. Humbert, claimant, having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was 
ordered released under bond to be relabeled under the supervision of the Food 
and Drug Administration.
