This product was infested with maggots.
On July 31, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 29 crates of 
huckleberries at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about July 29, 1937, by Charles Nutall from 
Sharp town, Md., 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 or decomposed vegetable substance.
On August 30, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
