20862. Adulteration of tullibees.    U.  S. v. 9 Boxes  of  Tullibees.    Default
decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and   destruction.       (F.   &   D.
no. 29882.    Sample no. 28555-A.)
This action involved the interstate shipment of a quantity of tullibees that 
were found to be infested with worms.
On February 7, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 9 boxes of tullibees 
at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about January 
31, 1933, by Fred Ringling, from Warroad, Minn., to Chicago, III., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance, and in that it 
consisted of portions of animals unfit for food.
On April 4, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that 
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
