raspberry jelly failed to conform to the definitions and standards of identity

45 parts by weight of the fruit juice ingredients  (strawberry or red rasp-
berry) to each 55 parts by weight of one of the saccharine ingredients specified 
in the definitions and standards.
Further misbranding, Section 403 (g) (1), the pineapple preserves failed 
to conform to the definition and standard of identity for such preserves since 
the soluble-solids content of the article was less than 68 percent, the minimum 
permitted by the definition and standard.
