24477. Adulteration of tulllbees.    V. S. v. 3 Boxes of Tulllbees.    Default decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.    (F.   &   D.   no.   35103.    Sample   no. 
16661-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of tullibees which were infested 
with worms.
On January 16, 1935, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of three boxes of 
tullibees at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about January 12, 1935, by the Lake Manitoba Fisheries, from Winnipeg, Mani- 
toba, Canada, into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Union 
Fisheries Ltd.,   *    *   *   Winnipeg, Man."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
filthy animal substance, and in that it consisted of portions of animals unfit 
for food.
On February 9, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
