22777. Adulteration of  dried  grapes.    V.  S.  v.  15  Boxes  of Dried  Grapes.
Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F.
& D. no. 32698.    Sample no. 53092-A.)
This ease involved a shipment of dried grapes that were insect-infested and 
filthy.
On May 9, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, acting 
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel 
praying seizure and condemnation of 15 cases of dried grapes at Portland, Oreg., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce, on or about 
April 26, 1934, by the Enoch Packing Co., from Del Rey, Calif., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part: "Airport Brand Zinfandel Raisins Packed by Enoch Packing Co. 
Del Rey, Calif."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On June 7, 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.
