21310. Adulteration of  dried  apple  pomace.    U.  S.  v.  20  Sacks   of  Dried
Apple Pomace.    Default  decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction.     (F. & D. no. 30606.    Sample no. 41833-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of dried apple pomace that con- 
tained arsenic in an amount that might have rendered it harmful to health.
On June 16, 1933, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 20 sacks of dried 
apple pomace at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on 
or about June 2, 1933, by the Repp Orchard Products Co., from Glassboro, N.J., 
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 contained 
an added poisonous and deleterious ingredient, arsenic, which might have 
rendered it harmful to health.
On July 5, 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.
