Default   decree   of  condemnation  and  destruction.     (F.   & D.  no.   38075.

This case involved crab meat that contained filth.
On or about July 17, 1936, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one barrel of crab 
meat at Norfolk, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about July 14, 1936, by the Paul Zibilich Co., Inc., from New 
Orleans, La., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was contaminated with 
fecal Bacillus coli.
On November 13,1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
