9621. Adulteration of dried raspberries.     U.   S.     *     *     *     v.  10 Barrels   of
Dried Raspberries.     Product released under bond and ease discon- 
tinued.     (F. & D. No. 11177.    I. S. No. 8454-r.    S. No. C-1451.)
On September 9, 1919, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of New York, 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 condemnation of 10 barrels of dried raspberries, remaining unsold in the 
original unbroken packages at Rochester, N..Y., alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the Rochester Evaporated Fruit Co., from St. Louis, Mo., 
September 4, 1919, and transported from the State of Missouri into the State 
of New York, 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 in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable 
substance.
On November 21, 1919, the case having come on for final disposition, it was 
ordered by the court that the bond under which the goods had been previously
turned over to the claimant, the Rochester Evaporated Fruit Co., Inc., Eoches 
ter, N. Y., in conformity with section 10 of the act, be canceled and exonerated 
and that the case be discontinued.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
