21709. Adulteration of tullibees.     U.  S.  v.  10 Boxes  of  Tullibees.     Default
decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.
no. 30847.     Sample no. 45759-A.)
This case involved a shipment of tullibees that were infested with parasitic 
worms.
On July 12, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 10 boxes of tullibees at 
Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about July 8, 1933, by John Neumiller, from Williams, Minn., 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 part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance. Adultera- 
tion was alleged for the further reason that the article consisted of portions of 
animals unfit for food.
On September 28, 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.
