Decree of condemnation. Product ordered released under bond to be 
brought into compliance with the law. (F. D. C. No. 9820. Sample No. 
20517-F.)
On April 17, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts 
filed a libel against 135 crates of dressed poultry at Boston, Mass., alleging that
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 15, 1943, 
by the New England Dressed Poultry Co., from Yarniouth, Maine; and charging 
that it was adulterated, in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy sub-. 
stance.   The dressed poultry was contaminated both internally and externally 
with fecal matter, and with pieces of intestines containing fecal matter.
On April 23, 1943, the New England Dressed Poultry Co. having appeared as 
claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered released under bond to be 
brought into compliance with the law under the supervision of the Food and Drug 
Administration.
