24611. Adulteration of canned huckleberries.     TJ.  S. v.  200 Cases  of Canned
Huckleberries.     Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F.
& D. no. 35276.    Sample no. 15346-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of canned huckleberries which were 
insect-infested.
On March 18, 1935, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 200 cases of 
canned huckleberries at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 18, 1935, by James Fenwick 
Co., from Portland, Oreg., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Fenwick Brand Water Pack 
Huckleberries    *    *    *   Packed for James Fenwick Co., Portland, Oregon."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On April 20, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
