24241. Canned mushrooms.   (F. D. C. No. 40326.   S. Nos. 25-647/9 M.)
QUANTITY: 195 cases, 24 cans each and 61 cases, 24 cans each, at Portland, 
Harbor, Roseburg, Eugene, and Klamath Falls, Oreg.
SHIPPED : Between 12-22-55 and 2-20-57, from Hudson, N. Y., by Pacific Coast 
Merchandise Co.
LABEL IN PART: (Can) "S S & G Chopped Mushrooms Net Weight 8 Ozs," 
"Knaust's Cavern Sliced Mushrooms * * * Drained Wgt. 1 Lb. Net Avd," 
and "Knaust's Cavern Pieces and Stems Mushrooms * * * Drained Wgt. 1 
Lb. Net Aud."
LIBELED :   7-1-57, Dist. Oreg.
CHARGE: 403 (a)—the statement "Drained Wgt. 1 Lb. Net Avdp" on the label 
of the 61 case lot, when shipped, was false and misleading as applied to a 
product which contained less than 1 lb. drained weight avoirdupois; and 403 (h) 
(2)—all lots of the article purported to be and were represented as canned 
mushrooms, a food for which a standard of fill of container had been pre- 
scribed by regulations, and the article fell below such standard since the weight 
of the drained mushrooms in the container was less than that prescribed by the 
regulations, and the label of the article failed to bear a statement that it fell 
below such standard.
DISPOSITION : 11-4-57. Default—delivered to public and charitable institutions 
for their use.
