4416. Adulteration of  canned  mustard  greens.    XT.   S.  v.   82   Cases   of  Canned
Mustard Greens.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F.
D. C. No. 7592.    Sample No. 73665-E.) ,
Examination of this product showed the presence of larvae, insects, and insect 
fragments. 
On or about June 9, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District 
fit Missouri filed a libel against 82 cases of canned mustard greens at Kansas 
City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about March 21, 1942, by the Alma Canning Co. from Alma, Ark.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy 
substance.   The article was labeled in part: "Alma Mustard Greens."
On November 7, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
Nos. 4417 to 4423 represent actions involving canned peas that purported 
to be 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 failed 
to bear, in the manner and form that the regulations specify, a statement that 
it fell below the standard.
