29641. Adulteration of crab apples.    U. S. v. 10 Bushels of Crab Apples.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43941.    Sample No. 
82790-D.)
This product was contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On August 30, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 10 bushels of crab 
apples at Chicago, Ill.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 23, 1938, by the Saugatuck Fruit Exchange from 
Saugatuck, Mich.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the article contained added poisonous or 
deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered it harm- 
ful to health. 
On October 18, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. Lt. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
