15967. Adulteration of frozen poultry. V. S. v. 1 Barrel, et al., of Frozen 
Poultry. Consent decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and de- 
struction. (F. & D. Nos. 22944, 22945. I. S. Nos. 02704, 02708. S. Nos. 
1007, 1009.)
On August 1, 1928, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
New York, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district libels praying seizure 
and condemnation of 1 barrel and 3 boxes of frozen poultry at Buffalo, N. Y., 
consigned by F. M. Stamper Co., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in part from Moberly, Mo., on or about April 24, 1928, and in part from 
Carrol ton, Mo., on or about May 20, 1928, and had been transported from the 
State of Missouri into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in 
violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libels that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance, in that it 
consisted in part of a portion of an animal unfit for food, and in that it was 
the product of a diseased animal.
On August 6, 1928, the claimants and owners having consented to the de- 
struction of the product and having paid all costs, judgment of condemnation 
and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product 
be destroyed by the United States marshal.
