LIBEL FILED :   August 5, 1948, District of Massachusetts.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about April 5, 1946, by the Welch Fruit Products 
Co., from Chicago, Ill.
PRODUCT: 18 barrels, each containing approximately 60 gallons, of red raspberry 
puree at Boston, Mass.
LABEL IN PART: "Welch's Seedless Red Raspberries Pureed For Ice Cream 
Contents One Gallon."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (a) (3), the product consisted 
in whole or in part of a decomposed substance by reason of the presence 
of decomposed raspberry material.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the designation "Seedless Red Raspberries 
Pureed" was false and misleading since the product was an artificially 
flavored and colored mixture of seedless red raspberries, invert sugar, phos- 
phoric acid, and water; Section 403 (e), the product failed to bear a label 
containing an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents since the 
label statement "Contents One Gallon" was inaccurate; and, Section 402 
(i) (2), it was fabricated from two or more ingredients, and its label failed 
to bear the common or usual name of each ingredient since phosphoric acid 
and water were not declared.
DISPOSITION ;   January 3,1949.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
