26398. Adulteration of blueberries.    U. S. v. 81 8/32 crates of Blueberries.    De¬
fault   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   no.   38090. 
Sample no. 8691-C.)
This case involved blueberries that were infested with maggots.
On July 18, 1936, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 31%2 crates of 
blueberries at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about July 16, 1936, by Paul Saladigo, from Mo- 
do, Pa., 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 vegetable substance.
On September 24, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
