(F. D. C. No. 24642.   Sample No. 44003-K.)
LIBEL FILED :    May 20,1948, Southern District of Ohio.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about March 9, 1948, by the Fuller Canneries Co., 
from South- Dayton, N. Y.
PRODUCT: 3,150 -cases, each containing 24 1-pound, 3-ounce cans, of cut green 
beans at Cincinnati, Ohio. The product was cut into pieces less than % inch in 
length, which size is designated as short cuts in the standard.
LABEL IN PART :    "Ontario Brand Cut Green BKans."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (g) (1), the product purported 
to be and was represented as canned cut green beans, a food for which a 
definition and standard of identity has been prescribed by the regulations; 
and its label failed to bear, as required by the regulations, the name of the 
optional ingredients present in the food, since the label bore the statement 
"Cut Green Beans," whereas the article was "short cut green bKans." Further 
misbranding, Section 403 (a), the vignette borne on the label of a dish of cut 
green beans of normal length was misleading.
DISPOSITION: July 14, 1948. The Fuller Canneries Co., claimant, having ad- 
mitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered, and 
the product was ordered released under bond to be relabeled under the super- 
vision of the Food and Drug Administration.
