4608.  Adulteration   of  jelly.     U.   S.    *   *    *   v.   196  Pails   of  Jelly.     Default?
decree  of  condemnation,  forfeiture,  and  destruction.     (F.  & D.  No.
G936.     S. No. JS-434.)
On October 21, 1915, the United States attorney for the District of Mary??
land, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and con??
demnation of 196 pails of jelly, remaining unsold in the original unbroken?
packages at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been delivered for?
transportation from the State of Maryland into the State of Massachusetts,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. Some of?
the jelly was labeled, in part: "Net Weight 30 pounds Eagle Brantl Imitation?
Currant Jelly Compounded from juice from Apple Trimmings, Corn Syrup,?
Phosphoric Acid, Artificially colored with certified color, Distributed by The?
Jewel Manufacturing Co., the Baker Supply People, Baltimore, Md." '" Imita??
tion Currant Jelly " and " Boston Brand Compound Jelly."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable matter and?
contained large quantities of worms and maggots, and, further, for the reason?
that said product was moldy.
On December 4, 1915, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MAEVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
