Potato Misbranding
Brings Stiff Warning
WASHINGTON (USDA)
Disciplinary action will be taken
under the Perishable Agricul
tural Commodities Act in all
cases where farm produce in
interstate commerce is mis
branded or misrepresented, the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture announced today.
Officials - cited in particular
the practice of branding Russet
Burbank potatoes as ‘Tdaho
Potatoes”, without regard to the
State in which the potatoes
were produced. This is consid
ered a violation of the PAC Act.
Anpropnate measures will be
taken to force its discontinuance
and to take disciplinary action
against violators, the Depart
ment said.
The Perishable Agricultural
Commodities Act is a Federal
statute administered hy the
Fruit and Vegetable Division of
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing
Service. It requires the licens
ing of fruit and vegetable deal
ers, and assists in the settle
ment of complaints and dis
putes of shippers and receivers.
The Act, in effect, enforces
what is primarily a fair prac
tice code set up by the indus
try with the assistance of the
Federal Government. It seeks,
also, to prevent the misbrand
ing or misrepresenting of pro
duce to the detriment of the
industry.
