3737. Misbranding of canned sliced peaches.    TT. S. v. 584 Cases of Canned Sliced
Peaches. Consent decree of condemnation. Product ordered released 
under bond to be relabeled.    (F. D. C. No. 6846.    Sample No. 49836-E.)
This product was substandard in quality because more than 20 percent of the 
units in the container were blemished and because all units were not untrimmed, 
or were not so trimmed as to preserve their normal shape.
On February 11, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District, of 
Louisiana filed a libel against 584 cases of canned sliced peaches at New Orleans, 
La., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about September 11, 1941, by A. M. Beebe Co. from San Francisco, Calif.; and 
charging that it was misbranded in that it purported to be and was represented 
as a food for which a standard of quality had been prescribed by regulations as 
provided 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 fell 
below such standard. It was labeled in part: "Renown Sliced Yellow Cling 
Peaches   *   *   *   Packed By Fruitvale Canning Co."
On July 3, 1942, Fruitvale Canning Co., Oakland, Calif., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and 
the product was ordered released under bond to be relabeled under the super- 
vision of the Food and'Drug Administration.
