NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 666, POOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF FISH.
On or about August 23, 1909, A. W. Half, New York City, shipped?
from the State of New York to the State of Virginia 41 barrels of?
fish. Examination of samples of this product, made in the Bureau?
of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, showed it to?
be adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of?
June 30, 1906. As it appeared from the findings of the analyst and?
report made that the said shipment was liable to seizure under sec??
tion 10 of the act, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to?
the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
In due course a libel was filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district against the said 41 barrels of fish, charging?
the above shipment, and alleging the product so shipped to be adul??
terated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed,?
or putrid animal substance, unfit for human consumption.
The cause coming on for hearing, and no claimant having appeared?
or answer to said libel having been filed, the court, being fully?
informed in the premises, issued its decree, condemning the product?
and ordering its destruction 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.
W. M. HAYS,?
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
