22520. Adulteration of  Spanish   olives.    U.   S.  v.  24 Dozen  Jars  of  Olives.
Default    decree    of   condemnation,   forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(P. & D. no. 32415.    Sample no. 66987-A.)
Samples of olives taken from the shipment involved in this case were found 
to be wormy.
On March 22, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 24 dozen jars of olives at 
Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about February 9, 1934, by Mawer-Gulden-Annis, Inc., from 
Brooklyn, N. Y., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The article was labeled in part: "La Sevillana Spanish Olives 1 Pt. 10 
fluid oz. Mawer-Gulden-Annis, Inc., New York."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On May 25, 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.
