8150. Adulteration and misbranding of jams. U. S. v. 80 Cases and 50 Cases of 
Assorted Jains. Consent decree of condemnation. Products ordered re- 
leased under bond for relabeling. (F. D. C. Nos. 6827, 6946. Sample Nos.

Analysis showed that these products were, insufficiently cooked, since the 
soluble-solids content of the finished jams was less than 68 percent."
On February 13, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington filed a libel against 130 cases of fruit jams at Seattle, Wash., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the 
period from on or about December 1, 1941, to February. 7, 1942, by Oswego 
Jelly Co. from Portland, Oreg.; and charging that they were adulterated and 
misbranded. They were labeled in part: "Standby Boysenberry [or "Black- 
berry," "Raspberry," "Strawberry," or "Blackcap Seedless"] Jam * * * 
Packed for Fine Foods, Inc., Seattle-Minneapolis."
The articles were alleged, to be adulterated in that imitation boysenberry, 
blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, and Blackcap   (black raspberry)   jams had 
i  been substituted in whole or in part therefor.
They were alleged to be. misbranded (1) in that the names "Boysenberry 
Jam," "Blackberry Jam," Raspberry Jam," "Strawberry Jam," and "Blackcap 
Seedless Jam" were false and misleading as applied to articles which purported 
to be and were represented to be jams, foods for which definitions and standards 
of identity had been promulgated by regulations as provided by law and which 
failed to conform to such definitions and standards of identity; (2) in that they 
were imitations of other foods, and their labels failed to bear, in type of uniform 
size and prominence, the word "imitation'' and immediately thereafter, the 
name of the food imitated; and (3) in that they purported to be and were 
represented as jams, foods for which definitions and standards of identity had 
been prescribed by regulations as provided by law, but they failed to conform to 
such definitions and standards since the soluble-solids content of such articles 
was materially less than 68 percent.
On March 19, 1942, Oswego Jelly Co., claimant, having consented to the entry 
of a decree and the cases having been consolidated, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the products were ordered released under bond conditioned 
that they be relabeled- as imitation jams, understhe supervision; of the Foods and-> 
Drug Administration.
