25931. Adulteration of walnut meats.    U. S. v. Meyer Joe Laff.    Plea of guilty.
Fine, $200.    (F. & D. no. 37018.    Sample no. 38711-B.)
This case involved shipment of walnut meats that were in part worm-eaten 
and moldy.
On April 29, 1936, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Meyer Joe Laff at Los Angeles, Calif., 
alleging that on or about November 5, 1935, the defendant had shipped from 
the State of California into the State of Utah a number of cartons of walnut 
meats, and that the article was adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.   The article was labeled in part: "Walnut Meats, Special Amber   *   *   *."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On June 8, 1936, a plea of guilty was entered by the defendant and the court 
imposed a fine of $200.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
