22118. Adulteration of apple pomace.    TJ.  S. v. 671  Bags  of Apple  PomŽ
ace.    Default  decree  of  condemnation,  forfeiture,  and  destruc- 
tion.    (F. & D. no. 31717.    Sample no. 59618-A.)
This case involved a shipment of apple pomace which contained arsenic 
trioxide and lead in amounts which might have rendered it injurious to health.
On December 14,1933, 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 671 bags of apple pomace at 
Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce, 
on or about October 20, 1933, by the Duffy-Mott Co., Inc., from Voorheesville, 
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 added poisonous and deleterious ingredients, arsenic trioxide and lead, 
which might have rendered it harmful to health.
On January 9, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
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.
