NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 647, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF OLIVES.
On or about December 20, 1909, Psaki Brothers, a corporation,?
New York City, shipped from the State of New York to the State?
of Pennsylvania five barrels of olives. Examination of samples of?
this shipment showed that the product was adulterated within the?
meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906. As it ap??
peared from the findings of the analyst and report made that the?
said shipment was liable to seizure under section 10 of the act, the?
Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to the United States?
attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
In due course a libel was filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district against the said five barrels of olives, charging?
the above shipment and alleging that the product so shipped was?
adulterated, in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, de??
composed, and putrid vegetable substance, and praying seizure and?
condemnation of the product.
On September 16, 1910, the cause came on for hearing, and no?
claimant to the product having appeared and no answer having?
been filed, the court, being fully informed in the premises, issued?
its decree condemning and forfeiting the said barrels of olives to the?
use of the United States for the causes in the said libel set forth, and?
ordering the destruction thereof by the marshal of said district,?
which order was forthwith executed.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30,1906.

Secretary of Agriculture.
