9594. Adulteration of sauerkraut.     U.  S.     *      *      *     v.  60 Barrels  of  Sauer¬
kraut     *      *      *.     Default  decree of   condemnation,  forfeiture,  and
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 12395.    I. S. No. 24757-r.     S. No. C-1929.)
On May 3, 1920, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio, 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 60 barrels, more or less, of sauerkraut, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Cleveland, Ohio, alleging that the article had been 
shipped by Morris Keinin, Newark, N. Y., on or about December 19, 1919, and 
transported from the State of New York into the State of Ohio, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On August 10, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
