21386. Adulteration of tullibees. TJ. S. v. 126 Boxes and 69 Boxes of 
Tullibees. Default decrees of condemnation, forfeiture, and de- 
struction.    (F.  & D.  nos.  29697,   29698.    Sample nos.   26425-A,  26428-A.)
These cases involved shipments of tullibees which were found to be infested 
with worms.
On December 30, 1932, the United States attorney for the District of Mary- 
land, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 195 boxes of tullibees at 
Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce, in part on or about October 15, 1932, and in part on or about November 
13, 1932, by Booth Fisheries Co., from Warroad, Minn., and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libels that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy animal substance, and that it consisted of 
portions of animals unfit for food.
On August 3, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
of condemnation and forfeiture were 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.
