21331. Adulteration of apple pomace.    U. S.  v. 450 Bags of Apple Pomace.
Default   decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and   destruction.
(F. & D. no. 30568.    Sample no. 36610-A.)
This case involved a shipment of apple pomace that contained lead in an 
amount that might have rendered it injurious to health.
On June 8, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 450 bags of apple 
pomace at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on January 26, 1933, by the Finger Lakes Cider & Vinegar Co., from 
Penn Yan, N.Y., 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 deleterious ingredient, lead, in an amount which might have rendered 
it injurious to health.
On July 14, 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.
