5516. Adulteration of frozen red raspberries.   U. S. v. Frigid Food Products, Inc.
Plea of guilty.    Fine, $2,100.     (F. D. C. No. 9634.    Sample Nos. 89756-E, 
89757-E, 1819-F, 1851-F, 1853-F, 1854-F, 1871-F.)
On June 7, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Michi- 
gan filed an information against the Frigid Food Products, Inc., Detroit, Mich., 
alleging shipment on or about July 5, 1941, from the State of Michigan into the 
State of New York, and on or about July 17, 24 and 30 and August 4, 1942, from 
the State of Michigan into the State of Illinois of quantities of frozen red 
raspberries which were adulterated. The portion of the article shipped to New, 
York on or about July 5, 1941, was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted: 
in whole or in part of a decomposed substance. The remainder was alleged to 
be adulterated in that water had been substituted in part for red raspberries, 
which the product was represented to be; and in that water had been added 
thereto so as to increase its bulk or weight and reduce its quality.
On August 24, 1943, the defendant was arraigned and entered a plea of guilty 
to the first 5 counts which charged adulteration, based upon the presence of 
added water, and pleaded not guilty to the sixth count which charged adultera- 
tion because of decomposition. On January 11, 1944, however, the defendant 
appeared and changed his plea of not guilty on the sixth count to guilty. The 
court thereupon imposed a fine of $350 on each count, a total of $2,100.
