26430. Adulteration of raspberries.     V. S. v. 129 Pails of Raspberries.     Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 38196.    Sample no. 
11621-C.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of raspberries that were infested 
with maggots.
On August 20, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- 
setts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 129 pails of raspberries at 
Boston, Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about August 13, 1936, by the H. A. Johnson Co., from Van Buren, 
Maine, 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 14, 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.
