The article was worm-infested.
On December 21, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Utah, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 30 eases of dried peaches at Salt 
Lake City, Utah, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce, on or about October 1, 1935, by the California Prune & Apricot Growers 
Association, from San Jose, Calif., to Salt Lake City, Utah, and charging adul- 
teration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in 
part: (Case) 'Twenty Five Lbs. Net California Peaches Prepared with Sulphur 
Dioxide."
Adulteration of the product was charged under the allegation that it consisted 
wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On February 29, 1936, no claimant having appeared, a default decree of con- 
demnation, forfeiture, and destruction was entered.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
