LIBEL FILED:   January 20, 1949, Eastern District of New York.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about December 8, 1948, by the Nonpareil Pickle 
Works, from Jersey City, N. J.
PRODUCT:   21   1-gallon jars of horseradish at Brooklyn, N. Y.
LABEL IN PART:    "Nonpareil Brand   Prepared Horse Radish."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), a valuable constituent, 
horseradish, had been in whole or in part omitted; Section 402 (b) (2), a mix- 
ture of ground parsnips with nonfat dry milk solids had been substituted in 
whole or in part for horseradish; and, Section 402 (b) (4), artificial flavor had 
been added to the product or mixed or packed with it so as to make it appear 
better or of greater value than it was.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the name "Horse Radish" was false and mis- 
leading since the product consisted of parsnips with nonfat dry milk solids 
and artificial flavor.
