Nos. 7829 to 7831 report actions involving canned peas that purported to 
be a food for which a standard of quality has been prescribed by law, but the

the maximum permitted by the standard, and the labels failed to bear, in the 
manner and form that the regulations specify, a statement that the product was 
below the standard.
