21718. Adulteration of apple pomace.    V.  S. v. 400 Bass of Apple Pomace.
Default    decree    of   condemnation,   forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(F. & D. no. 30696.    Sample no. 43120-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of apple pomace which contained 
lead in an amount which might have rendered the article injurious to health.
On July 5, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 400 bags of apple pomace at Hill- 
side, N.J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about June 15, 1933, by Walter H. Hildick Co., from Lyons, N.Y., 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 an added poisonous and deleterious ingredient, lead, which might 
have rendered it injurious to health.
On October 26, 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.
