21899. Adulteration of apple pomace.    TJ. S. v. 300 Bass of Apple Pomace.
Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F.
& D. no. 30878.    Sample no. 36422-A.)
This case involved a shipment of apple pomace that contained arsenic and 
lead.
On August 9, 1933, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Michigan, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 300 bags of apple pomace 
at Detroit, Mich., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or abo.ut May 6, 1933, by the National Fruit Product Co., from Win- 
chester, Va., 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 con- 
tained added poisonous and deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which 
might have rendered it harmful to health.
On or about September 18, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the prop- 
erty, judgment 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.
