1776. Misbranding of canned tomatoes.    V. S. v. 500 Cases of Canned Tomatoes.
Consent decree of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond 
for relabeling.     (F. D. C. No. 3664.    Sample No. 5515S-E.)
This product was substandard in quality because of low drained weight and 
excessive- peel and was not labeled to indicate that it was substandard.   -
On January 13, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 500 cases of canned tomatoes at Hoquiam, 
Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about October 4, 1940, by Parrott & Co. from San Francisco, Calif.; and 
charging that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Cans) 
"Del Haven Tomatoes."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it purported to be a food for which 
a standard of quality had been prescribed by regulations as prescribed by 
law but its quality fell below such standard and its label did not bear in 
such manner and form as the regulations specify, a statement that it feJl 
below such standard.
On March 11, 1941, Parrott & Co., a corporation, claimant, having consented 
to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be relabeled in conformity 
with the law.
