21013. Adulteration of apple butter.     U. S. v. 30%   Cases of Apple Butter.
Default    decree    of    condemnation,    forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(F. & D. no. 29935.    Sample nos. 27140-A, 27141-A, 26947-A.)
• This case involved interstate shipments of apple butter which was found 
to contain insects.
On March 14, 1933, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 30^ cases of 
apple butter at Cincinnati, Ohio, alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce, in part on or about January 27, 1933, and in part 
on or about February 20, 1933, by the Goodwin Preserving Co., from Louis- 
ville, Ky., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
A portion of the article was labeled in part: " Tip Toe Brand * * * 
Apple Butter." The remainder was labeled in part: "Dot's Good * * * 
Pure Apple Butter."
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 25, 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.
