21696. Adulteration of    cauliflower.       U.    S.    v.    6    Cases    of    Cauliflower.
Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.      (F.   &   D.   no.
31109.    Sample no. 46682-A.)
This case involved a shipment of cauliflower that was found to bear arsenic 
in an amount which might have rendered the article injurious to health.
On August 18, 1933, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of six cases of cauli- 
flower at Monro, La., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 8, 1933, by Z. J. Fort Produce Co., from Denver, 
Colo., 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 
arsenic, an added poisonous and deleterious ingredient, which might have ren- 
dered it injurious to health.
On November 6, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation 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.
