24621. Adulteration of dried flgrs.    v. S. v. 214 Bags of Dried Figs.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 35392. Sample 
no. 21645-B.)
This case involved a shipment of dried figs which were worm-infested.
On April 18, 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 214 bags of dried 
figs at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about October 20, 1934, by the Pacific Raisin Co., of 
Fowler, Calif., from Oakland, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On May 7, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
