26441. Adulteration of blueberries.     U. S. v. 4 Crates of Blueberries.     Default
decree   of  condemnation  and  destruction.     (F.  &  D.   no.   38247.     Sample 
no. 11556-C.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of blueberries that were infested 
with maggots.
On August 28, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four crates of blue- 
berries at Boston, Mass., consigned August 27, 1936, alleging that the article 
was shipped in interstate commerce by Leonard H. Gray from Ellsworth, 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 November 16, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the article be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
