24818. Adulteration of evaporated apples. U. S. v. Gilbert Apple Products 
Co., Inc. Plea of guilty. Fine, $200. (F. & D. no. 33817. Sample nos. 
49104-A, 49405-A, 50527-A, 62103-A.)
This case was based on interstate shipments of apples which were in part 
insect-infested and dirty.
On December 10, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against Gilbert Apple Products Co., Inc., 
Rochester, N. Y., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act on or about October 14, October 31, November 23, 1933, and 
January 2, 1934, from the State of New York into the States of Virginia, 
Ohio, and Georgia of quantities of evaporated apples which were adulterated. 
A portion of the article was labeled in part: "Bake-Rite Brand Evaporated 
Apples Packed by Gilbert Apple Products Co., Inc. Rochester, N. Y."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of filthy 
vegetable and animal substances.
On June 5, 1935, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company and the court imposed a fine of $200.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
