16063. Adulteration of frozen poultry. V. S. v. 1 Barrel of Fromen Poultry. 
Consent    decree    of    condemnation,    forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(F. & D. No. 2R950.    I. S. No. 02701.    S. No. 1012.)
On August 3, 1928, 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 seizure and 
condemnation of 1 barrel of frozen poultry at Buffalo, N. Y., consigned by the 
Bellman Produce Co., Sioux Falls, S. Dak,, alleging that the article had been 
shipped from Sioux Falls, S. Dak., on or about January 19, 1928, and transported 
from the State of South Dakota into the State of New York, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
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 destruc- 
tion 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.
