sey filed a libel against 664 cases, each containing 24 cans, of peaches at Newark, 
N. J., alleging that the article had been, shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about September 3, 1942, by the Steinfeidt-Thompson Co. from Adel, Ga.; and 
charging that it was misbranded: The article was labeled in part: "Golden 
Harvest Brand Sun Ripened Yellow Freestone Peaches."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it purported to be and was represented 
as a food for which a standard of quality liad been prescribed by regulations 
promulgated pursuant to law, but It fell below such standard since it failed to 
meet the test for tenderness described in the regulations and its label failed to 
bear, in such manner and form as the regulations specify, a statement that it fell 
below such standard. '.'....,
