9445. Misbranding of   tomatoes.     V.   S.     *     *     *     v.   California   Vegetable
Union,   a   Corporation.    Plea   of   guilty.    Fine,   $100.     (F.   &  D.   No.
14307.    I. S. No. 10155-t.)
On March 14, 1921, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
the California Vegetable Union, a corporation, Los Angeles, Calif., alleging 
shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as 
amended, on or about July 30, 1920, from the State of California into the State 
of Colorado, of a quantity of tomatoes in crates, which were misbranded.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it was food in package form, and the quantity of the contents was not 
plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On April 4, 1921, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant corporation, and the court imposed a fine of $100.
C. W. PUGSLEY, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
