2887. Adulteration of frozen percli.     U. S. v. 90 Boxes of Frozen Percli,    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 5459. Sample No. 
37085-E.)
Examination of this product disclosed the presence of parasites as well as 
of decomposition.
On August 30, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of North Carolina filed a libel against 90 10-pound boxes of frozen perch at Char- 
lotte, N. C, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about August 9, 1941, by Baxter & Kerr, inc., from Gloucester, Mass.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy and decomposed substance.
On December 4, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
