This case involved a shipment of apple butter that contained lead in an 
amount that might have rendered it Injurious to health.
On May 25, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
aeting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 23 cases of apple butter at Pueblo, 
Colo., consigned by the Allison-Bedford "Co., Chicago, Ill., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce, on or about July 25, and 
November 18, 1933, from Chicago, Ill., and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. A portion of the article was labeled in part: " Glen- 
crest Fancy Apple Butter * * * Allison-Bedford Co. Chicago, Ill." The 
remainder was labeled in part: "I. G. A. Brand Apple Butter Packed for 
Independent Grocers Alliance Distributing Co., Chicago, Ill.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained an added 
poisonous or deleterious ingredient, lead, which might have rendered it in- 
jurious to health.
On August 3, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
and forfeiture was entered, and destruction of the product was ordered.
