This product was infested with maggots.
On August 17, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern 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 three crates of 
blueberries at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been snipped 
in interstate commerce on or about August 15, 1938, by Spring Mountain 
Blueberry Association, Peck & Gioda, from Beaver Meadows, Pa.; 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 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
