33389.   Sample No. 14990-L.)
LIBEL FILED :    June 20,1952, District of Nebraska.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about April 3, 1952, by the Fresh Canning Co., from 
Spiro, Okla.
PRODUCT:    128 cases, each containing 48   15-ounce cans, of peas at Hastings,
Nebr.
LABEL IN PART: (Can) "Baby Snug Alaska Variety Early June Peas." 
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (g) (2), the article purported to 
be and was represented as canned peas, a food for which a definition and 
standard of identity has been prescribed by regulations, and its label failed to 
bear the name of the optional pea ingredient present in the article since the 
definition and standard provides that the label for canned peas shall name 
the optional pea ingredient in the article by use of the words "Dried Early," 
"Dried June," or ."Dried Early June," and that such words shall immediately 
and conspicuously precede or follow the name of the optional pea ingredient 
present in the article, without intervening written, printed, or graphic matter.
Further misbranding, Section 403 (h) (1), the quality of the article fell 
below the standard of quality for canned peas because of high alcohol-insoluble 
solids, and the label failed to bear a statement that the article fell below 
such standard. 
DISPOSITION: July 24, 1952. The Fresh Canning Co., claimant, having con- 
sented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and the 
court ordered that the product be released under bond to be brought into com- 
pliance with the law, under the supervision of the Federal Security Agency.
