A Crime a Day‏ @CrimeADay · May 18

U.S.C §§331, 333 & 21 CFR §156.145(b)(1)(i) make it a federal crime to sell tomato juice that isn't red enough, unless you expressly warn people that the juice has “poor color.”

Part 156 of the Federal Regulations covers Vegetable Juices and certainly 156.145 does contain extensive regulations concerning Tomato Juice.

As I understand it, this forum does prefer direct links to information.

Although there is an enforcement policy, including reference to criminal violations, I don't see reference to the actual penalties that can be applied. (I certainly may be missing it.)

You would have an easier time making a list of things our government does not regulate than things it does. It will be much shorter. So much so that you likely won't find a single example.

Looks like some politician doesn't like beet juice!

Same holds true with making a list of what our government does 'well' versus what it totally and completely fails at (i.e. virtually everything it touches).
