20957. Adulteration of cabbage. TI. S. -v. 65 Baskets of Cabbage. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. no. 30078. Sample no. 21517-A.) This case involved a shipment of cabbage that was found to bear arsenic and lead in amounts that might have rendered it injurious to health. On March 23, 1933, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 65 baskets of cab- bage at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce, on or about March 18, 1933, by W. C. Archbell, from Mcintosh, Fla., 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 contained added poisonous or deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered it harmful to health. On April 19, 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. TUGWEIX, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
