13667. Adulteration of canned cherries.     V. S. v. 43 Cases of Canned Cher 
ries.     Decree   entered,   ordering   product   released   under   bond.
(F. & D. No. 19531.     I. S. No. 17125-v.     S. No. E-5107.)
On January 26, 1925, 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 praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 43 cases of canned cherries, at Fairport, N. Y., alleging 
that the article had been shipped from Bethlehem, Pa., on or about January 10, 
1925, and transported from the State of Pennsylvania into the State of New 
York, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The 
article was labeled in part: (Can) "Pride Of Egypt Brand Red Sour Pitted 
Cherries * * * Guaranteed And Distributed by Egypt Canning Co., Inc. 
Egypt. N. Y."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable 
substance.
On March 25, 1925, the Egypt Canning Co., Fairport, N. Y., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having executed a good and sufficient 
bond, in conformity with section 10 of the act, an order of the court was 
entered, providing that the product be released to the said claimant and that 
it be disposed of according to the decision of this department.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
