21686. Adulteration of tullibees. V. S. v. 4 Boxes of Tullibees. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. no. 31304. Sample no. 45975-A.) This case involved a shipment of tullibees that were infested with parasitic worms. On September 26, 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 four boxes of tullibees at Chicago, III., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 19, 1933, by B. Arneson, from Wiarroad, Minn., 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, and putrid animal substance. Adulteration was alleged for the further reason that the article consisted of portions of animals unfit for food. On November 13, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal. M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
