913. Adulteration of poultry.    V. S. v. Producers Cold Storage Co. and Carl L.
Burt. Pleas of nolo contendere. Fine of $12.50 imposed on each 
defendant.    (F. D. C. No. 964.    Sample No. 68467-D.)
On May 13, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri filed an information against the Producers Cold Storage Co., a cor- 
poration, Shelbina, Mo., and Carl L. Burt, alleging shipment on or about 
November 20, 1939, from the State of Missouri into the State of New York of a 
quantity of poultry which was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was in part the product 
of diseased animals, namely, diseased poultry. It was alleged to be adul- 
terated further in that it was in whole or in part unfit for food since it 
consisted in whole or in part of diseased and emaciated poultry.
On May 27, 1940, the defendants both entered pleas of nolo contendere and 
the court imposed a fine of $12.50 against each.
