CHARGE: 403(a)—when shipped, the label vignette depicting succulent green 
peas was false and misleading as applied to this article which was prepared 
from dried peas; 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, "Dried Early June Peas" as specified in such defini- 
tion and standard, since its label bore the name "Early June Peas"; 403(h) 
(1)—the article fell below the standard of quality for canned peas, since the 
alcohol insoluble solids of peas in the container was more than 23.5 percent, 
and its label failed to bear a statement that it fell below such standard; and 
403(h) (2)—the article fell below the standard of fill of container for canned 
peas, since a headspace of one inch was found, and its label failed to bear the 
statement that it fell below the standard of fill of container for canned peas.
