8100. Misbranding of. canned wax bKans.    U. S. v. 12 Cases of Wax BKans.    De¬
fault decree of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to a charitable 
institution.     (F. D. C. No. 6562.     Sample No. 70078-E.) •
This product was canned cut wax beans of Standard or Extra Standard 
quality, but not Fancy because of the presence in each can of appreciable pro- 
portions of beans which were too old to be of Fancy quality, were hard and 
mealy, and in many cases stringy.
Oh or about December 29, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida filed a libel against 12 cases of wax beans at Jacksonville, 
Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about October 18, 1941, by the Larsen Co. from Green Bay, Wis.; and charging 
that it was misbranded in that the word "Fancy" was false and misleading as 
applied to an article which was not Fancy. The article was labeled in part: 
(Can) "Plee-Zing * * * Fancy Cut Wax Beans * * * Packed * * * 
by the Winorr Canning Company."
Oh January 20, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion .was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institu- 
tion after the word "Fancy" had been removed from all the labels.
