22540. Adulteration of evaporated apples.    U. S. v. 195 Boxes of Evaporated
Apples.     Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruc- 
tion.     (F. & D. no. 32595.    Sample no. 61819-A.)
This case involved a shipment of evaporated apples that were insect-infested, 
moldy, and dirty.
On April 26, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 195 boxes of evaporated 
apples at San Antonio, Tex., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce, on or about March 5, 1934, by Rosenberg Bros. Co., from Oak- 
land, Calif., 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- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On May 24, 1934, 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.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
