On April 14,- 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota 
filed a libel against 653 cases, each containing 24 cans, of whole beets at St. Paul, 
Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about February 25, 1943, by the Fuhremann Canning Co. from Appleton, Wis.; 
and charging that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Cans) 
"Home Brand Small Whole Beets * * * Distributed by Griggs, Cooper & Co. 
St. Paul, Minn.    *    *    *   No. of Beets Approx. 12 to 15." .       v
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements 
"Small Whole Beets * * * No. of Beets Approx. 12 to 15" were false and 
misleading since the beets were not small, and less than 12 beets were present 
in the container.
On June 1, 1943, Griggs, Cooper & Co. having appeared as claimant and having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and 
the product was ordered released under bond for relabeling under the supervision 
of the Food and Drug Administration.
