23114. Adulteration of blueberries.     V. S. v. 16 Crates of Blueberries.     De¬
fault decree of forfeiture and destruction. (F. & D. no. 33363. 
Sample no. 14419-B.)
This case involved a shipment of blueberries which were infested with 
maggots.
On August 16, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 16 crates of blueberries 
at Boston, Mass., consigned on or about August 15, 1934, from West Rockport, 
Maine, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce by 
A. F. Heald, of Lincolnville, Maine, and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On September 11, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of forfeiture 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
