21T65. Adulteration of cauliflower. C. S. v. 45 Cases of Cauliflower. Con- 
sent decree of destruction.     (F. & D. no. 3158G.    Sample no. 50370-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of cauliflower that was found to 
bear arsenic in an amount that might have rendered it injurious to health.
On October 20. 1933, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 45 cases of cauli- 
flower at Columbus, Ohio, alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about October 14, 1933, by the Erie County Growers & 
Shippers Association, from Orchard Park, N.Y., 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- 
tained an added poisonous or deleterious ingredient, arsenic, which might 
have rendered it injurious to health.
On October 21, 1933, the shipper having requested that the cauliflower be 
immediately destroyed, a decree was entered by the court ordering its 
destruction. 
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
