Nos. 12137 to 12146 report actions involving canned peas that purported 
to be a food for which a standard of quality has been prescribed by law, but 
the quality was charged to fall below the standard because of higher alcohol- 
insoluble solids than 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.
