20861. Adulteration of tullibees.    U.  S. v. 12 Boxes  of Tullibees.    Default
decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.
no. 29881.    Sample no. 28554-A.)
This action involved the interstate shipment of a quantity of tullibees that 
were found to be infested with worms.
On February 7, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 12 boxes of tullibees 
at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about January 
31, 1933, by John Newmiller, from Williams, Minn., to Chicago, Ill., and charg- 
ing adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance, and in that 
it consisted of portions of animals unfit for food.
On April 4, 1933, 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.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
