This product was infested with insects and was dirty.
On April 25, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 32 boxes of dried 
peaches at Seattle, Wash.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about February 25, 1938, from San Francisco, Calif., by 
S. & W. Fine Foods, Inc.; 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 vegetable substance.

was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
