VIOLATIONS CHARGED:   Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statements "Oil of Pea-V 
nuts" (gallon cans), "Peanut Oil" (half-gallon cans), and "Olio d Ariehidi"
(both sizes), borne on the labels, were false and misleading as applied to a 
product that was a mixture of peanut oil and cottonseed oil, containing more 
than 10 percent of cottonseed oil; Section 403 (e) (2), the article was in pack- 
age form and failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of the 
quantity of the contents, since the cans contained less than the declared amount; 
Section 403 (f), the labels contained representations in a foreign language, 
Italian, and the common or usual name of each ingredient did not appear 
thereon in the foreign language; and, Section 403 (i) (2), the product was 
fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear the 
common or usual name of each such ingredient, since cottonseed oil, an 
ingredient, was not declared.
DISPOSITION: November 3, 1943. The Wing Sing Wo Co., Honolulu, Hawaii, 
and the Morse Export Import Co., Inc., having appeared as' claimants, a stipula- 
tion providing for the relabeling of the product by the claimants, under the
