Misbranding, Section 403 (g) (1), the articles purported to be apricot- 
cranberry jam and raspberry-cranberry jam, foods for which definitions and 
standards of identity have been prescribed by the regulations, and they failed 
to conform to such definitions and standards, since the soluble solids content 
was less than 65 percent and 68 percent, respectively, the minimum permitted 
for such jams; and the articles contained artificial color, which is not permitted 
as an ingredient of apricot-cranberry jam and raspberry-cranberry jam.
