22748. Adulteration of   apple   butter.     1.   S.  v.   92   Cases   of   White   House
Apple  Butter.    Default   decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and 
destruction.    (F. & D. no. 32513.    Sample no. 60882-A.)
This case involved the shipment of a quantity of apple butter which contained 
insect larvae and other filth.
On April 7, 1934, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 92 cases of apple butter 
at Springfield, Ohio, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about January 23, or February 6, 1934, by the National Fruit 
Products, Inc., from Winchester, Va., and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "White House 
Apple Butter."
It was labeled in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On June 16, 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.
