240. Adulteration of apples.    U. S. v. 148 Bushels of Apples.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 879.    Sample No. 53995-D.)
On October 13, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Iowa filed a libel against 148 bushels of apples at Council Bluffs, Iowa, 
alleging that the article had been transported in interstate commerce on or 
about October 10, 1939, by E. T. Sauer from Troy, Kans.; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it contained an added poisonous or deleterious ingredi- 
ent, lead, which might have rendered it harmful to health.
On November 9,1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
