Nos. 11658 to 11665 report actions involving canned peas that purported 
to be a food for which a standard of quality has been prescribed by law, but the 
quality was charged to fall below the standard because of higher alcohol-insol- 
uble solids than the maximum permitted by the standard, and the labels failed 
to bear, in the manner and form that the regulations specify, a statement that 
the product was below the standard.
