26421. Adulteration of crab meat. TJ. S. v. 1 Barrel of Crab Meat. Default 
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 33138. Sample no. 
7872-C.)
This case involved crab meat that contained filth.
On August 7, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
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, alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 5, 
1936, by Carol Dryden & Co., from Crisfield, Md., and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted of a filthy animal 
substance. 
;
On September 30, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
