21910. Adulteration of   dressed   poultry.      U.   S.   v.   Gooding   Cooperative
Creamery.    Plea of guilty.    Fine, 850.     (F. & D. no. 31366.    Sample 
no. 17253-A.)
Samples of dressed poultry taken from the shipment involved in this case 
were found to be emaciated, diseased, and decomposed.
On January 15, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against the Gooding Cooperative Creamery, a corporation, 
Gooding, Idaho, alleging shipment by said company in the name of and by 
means of its agent, the Jerome Cooperative Creamery, on or about October 
1, 1932, from the State of Idaho into the State of California, of a quantity 
of dressed poultry that was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
it consisted in part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance, in that il 
consisted of portions of animals unfit for food, and in that it was a product 
of diseased animals.
On February 7, 1934, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the de- 
fendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
