74. Adulteration of  frozen flsh.     TJ. S. v. 2,500 Pounds of H. & G. Whiting and
44 Boxes of Ocean Perch Layers. Default decrees of condemnation and 
destruction.     (F. D. C. Nos. 372, 394.    Sample Nos. 63634-D, 63711-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce. At the time of exam- 
ination the whiting was found to be in whole or in part decomposed, and the 
ocean perch was found to contain parasitic worms.
On August 8 and 12, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Missouri filed libels against 2,500 pounds of H. & G. whiting and 44 boxes of 
ocean perch at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the articles had been shipped on 
or about July 7 and August 1, 1939, by the O'Donnell-Usen Fisheries Corporation 
from Boston, Mass.; and charging that they were adulterated.
Adulteration was alleged in that the articles consisted wholly or in part of a 
decomposed or filthy substance.
On September 12 and 17, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgments of 
condemnation were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
