This product contained maggots.
On August 14, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia 
filed a libel against 36 bushel baskets of huckleberries at Washington, D. C, 
alleging that the article was being offered for sale in the District of Columbia 
at the Terminal Refrigerating & Warehouseing Corporation, said article being 
stored to the account of the Connecticut Pie Co., of Washington, D. C.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy substance.
On September 5, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
