of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 2325.   Sample No. 35018—E.)
This product was in part decomposed in addition to being filthy.
On June 24, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland 
filed a libel against 2 drums containing 90 pounds of crab meat at Baltimore, Md., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
June 21, 1940, by the Silver Shell Oyster Co. from Coden, Ala.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy sub- 
stance; and in that it had been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary 
conditions. It was labeled in part: (Tags) "To Newcastle Fish Co. Baltimore 
From Silver Shell Oyster Co."
On July 20, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
