3964. Misbranding of canned peas.    TJ. S. v. 72 Cases of Canned Peas.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 7581. Sample No. 
70372-E.)
On May 29, 1942, the United States attorney for the Middle District of Ala- 
bama filed a libel against 72 cases of canned peas at Dothan, Ala., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 30, 1942, 
by the Concord Corporation (Crime Enterprises) from Cairo, Ga.; and charging 
that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Crines Quality 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, since the alcohol-insoluble solids 
of the peas were more than 23.5 percent, and its label failed to bear in such 
manner and form as the regulations specify a statement that it fell below such 
standard.
On July 14, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
