INFORMATION FILED:    October 4, 1951, District of New Jersey, against Joseph 
Rosenhan, trading as Jay-Arr Food Packers, Jersey City, N. J.
May ,15,1951, from the State of New Jersey into the States of Pennsylvania, 
Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
LABEL, IN PART : "Jr Brand Pure Pepper Net Weight 1 Oz. Jay-Arr Food 
Products." and "Chef's Italian Style Grated Cheese * * * Jay-Arr Food 
Packers   Jersey City, N. J."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Pepper. Adulteration (1 shipment), Section 402 (b) (2), 
a mixture of pepper, buckwheat hulls, and salt had been substituted for 
pepper. Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statement "Pure Pepper" borne on 
the label was false and misleading; and (remaining shipment), Section 403 
(e) (2), the article was in package form, and its, label failed to bear an accurate 
statement of the quantity of the contents since the jars contained less than 
1 ounce, the declared weight.
Grated cheese. Adulteration (both shipments), Section 402 (b) (2), a 
product high in lactose in the nature of nonfat dry milk solids had been 
substituted in whole or in part for grated cheese. Misbranding, Section 403 
(a), the statement "Grated Cheese" borne on the label was false and mis- 
leading since the article did not consist entirely of grated cheese, but did 
consist of a mixture of grated cheese and a milk product other than cheese.
DISPOSITION: January 11, 1952. A plea of guilty having been entered, the 
court imposed a-fine of $50 on each of the 7 counts of the information.
