3771. Misbranding of canned apple sauce.    U.  S. v. 31  Cases of Canned Apple
Sauce.    Default decree of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to $6 
cbaritable institution.    (F. D. C. No. 7357.    Sample No. 70760-E.) "
This product was not of Fancy quality, as labeled, because of the presence of 
fairly large pieces of peel, portions of seeds, carpels, portions of calyx end, and 
countless smaller black and brown specks.
On April 18,1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of North 
Carolina filed a libel against 31 cases, each containing 24 cans of apple sauce 
at Charlotte, N. C, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce by the Bowman Apple Products Co., from Mount Jackson, Va., on or about 
October 9,1941; and charging that it was misbranded in that the term "Fancy," 
on the label, was false and misleading as applied to an article that was not
of-Fancy quality.   It was labeled in part: "Bowman's Fancy Apple Sauce.   Sugar 
Added   Contents 1 Lb. 1 Oz."
On June 19, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
and destruction was entered: and on July 11, 1942, the decree was amended to 
permit delivery of the product to a charitable institution.
