25372. Adulteration of apples.    U. S. v. 10 Bushels of Apples.    Default decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   no.   36579.    Sample   no. 
47445-B.)
This case involved apples which were contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On October 8, 1935, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 10 bushels of 
apples at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about October 3, 1935, by John Warsko, from Watervliet, 
Mich., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "John Warsko, R-2, Watervliet, Michigan, 
Delicious."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added 
poisonous and deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, in amounts that might 
have rendered it injurious to health.
On November 27, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
R. G. TTJGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
