This case involved an interstate shipment of dried grapes which were found 
to be insect-infested.
On February 2, 1933, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 476 boxes of 
dried grapes at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about December 20, 1932, by the Lion Packing 
Co., from Fresno, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Foley's Shamrock Fancy 
Dried Black Alicante Bouchet Grapes."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On April 15, 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.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
