21870. Adulteration of  tullibees.    IJ.  S.  v.  3 Boxes   of  Tullibees.    Default
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. no.
31691.    Sample no. 59861-A.)
This case involved a shipment of tullibees that were infested with parasitic 
worms.
On November 7, 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 3 boxes of tullibees 
at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about October 31, 1933, by Edward Tobin, from Baudette, 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 December 20, 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.
