21364. Adulteration of dried apple pulp.    TJ. S. v. 812 Sacks of Dried Apple
Pulp.     Default  decree  of destruction.     (F.  & D.  no.  30712.     Sample 
no. 41214-A.)
This action involved a shipment of dried apple pulp which was found to 
contain arsenic and lead in amounts which might have rendered it injurious 
to health.
On July 11, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 812 sacks of dried apple pulp at 
Minneapolis, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about April 15, 1933, by John C. Morgan Co., from Traverse City, 
Mich., 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 
added poisonous and deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might 
have rendered it harmful to health.
On August 31, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
was entered ordering that the product be destroyed by the United States 
marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
