condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 44410.    Sample No. 44668-D.)
This product contained added water.
On November 17, 1988, 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 one barrel of scallops 
at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about November 14, 1988, by Holmes & Co. from Panama City, 
Fla.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance, water, had been 
mixed and packed with and substituted in part for scallops.
On December 16, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
