24741. Adulteration of canned raspberries.    U. S. v. 20 Cartons of Canned Rasp¬
berries.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no.
35163.    Sample no. 26350-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of canned raspberries that were 
worm- and insect-infested.
On February 21, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Mon- 
tana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 20 cartons of canned rasp- 
berries at Billings, Mont., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about January 30, 1935, by the Olympia Canning Co., from 
Olympia, Wash., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The article was labeled in part: "Olympia Brand Red Raspberries * * * 
Packed by Olympia Canning Co. Olympia, Wash."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On May 29, 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.
