22701. Adulteration of olives. TJ. S. v. 30 Cases of Olives. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. no. 31722. Sample no. 66002-A.) This case involved a shipment of olives which were in part wormy. On December 14, 1933, 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 30 cases of olives at Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about November 13, 1933, by Max Block & Co., Inc., from New York, N. Y., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Salome Brand Selected Olives * * * Max Block & Co., Inc., Distributors New York." It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance. On July 20, 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.
