On August 14, 192S, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, 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 100 cases of raisins, remaining in the original unbroken pack- 
ages at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped by Rosen- 
berg Bros. & Co., San Francisco, Calif., on or about January 11, 1928, and trans- 
ported from the State of California into the State of Louisiana, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled 
in part: "25 Lbs. Net Choice Unbleached Thompson Seedless Raisins."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On October 15, 1928, 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.
