3748. Misbranding of canned peas.    TJ.  S. v. 17 Cases of Canned Peas.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 7412.    Sample No. 
87569-E.)
Oh May 4, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Vir- 
ginia filed a libel against 17 cases of canned peas at Miles Store, Va., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 
13. 1942, by Charles G.  Summers, Jr., Inc., from New Freedom, Pa.; and
charging that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Superfine Brand 
Early June Peas."
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 May 28, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
