29639. Adulteration of crab apples.    U. S. v. 9 Boxes of Crab Apples.    Default
decree   of condemnation and  destruction.     (F.  & D. No.  44172.     Sample 
No. 20327-D.)
This product was contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On October 3, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of nine boxes of crab 
apples at Los Angeles, Calif.; alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about September 27, 1938, by M. P. Onaga from 
Ashland, Oreg.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous 
or other deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered 
it injurious to health.
On October 25, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
