21637. Adulteration of crawfish  meat.    V. S. v. 15 Cans  of Crawfish  Meat.
Default    decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(F. & D. no. 31043.    Sample no. 37961-A.)
This case involved a shipment of crawfish meat that was found to contain 
filth.
On September 2, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Colum- 
bia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Supreme 
Court of the District of Columbia, holding a district court, a libel praying 
seizure and condemnation of 15 cans of crawfish meat at Washington, D.C.. 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 28, 1933, by the East Coast Fish Market Co., from Miami, Fla., 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 con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy animal substance.
On October 18, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment 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.
