Corn."   All of the cans were approximately the same size.   A portion (38
cases) of the cans were labeled "1 Lb. 4 Oz." or "1 Lb.," and the remainder
were labeled "Net Weight 6 Lbs. 10 Ozs."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (a) (3), the product consisted 
in whole or in part of a decomposed substance. (Examination showed that 
the product was decomposed.)
Misbranding, Section 403 (g) (1), the product failed to conform to the defini- 
tion and standard of identity for canned cream style corn since it had not been 
so processed by heat as to prevent spoilage.
Further misbranding (38 cases only), Section 403 (e) (2), the product 
failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity of 
the contents. (The cans bore the label statements "Net Weight 1 Lb. 4 Ozs." 
or "Net Weight 1 Lb.," but contained approximately 7 pounds.)
DISPOSITION: November 10, 1949. Default decree of condemnation and
