This case involved cream which was filthy or decomposed.
On August 2, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one 10-gallon can of cream 
at Baltimore, Md., consigned by Belle Tavenner, from Alexandria, Va., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 
2, 1935, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On August 6, 1935, the Chesapeake Creameries, Inc., Baltimore, Md., claim- 
ant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the 
entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered 
that the product be destroyed.
