Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 42320. 
Sample No. 13402-D.)
This product contained evidence of the presence of filth.
On April 20, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western 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 12 cans of crab meat 
at Buffalo, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about April 13, 1938, by Brunswick Fisheries from Brunswick, Ga.; 
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 animal substance.
On May 16, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
