23125. Adulteration of crab meat.     U. S. v. 1 Barrel of Crab Meat.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 33416.     Sample 
no.  7286-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of crab meat which was found to 
contain filth.
On August 20, 1934, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one barrel of crab 
meat at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 16, 1934, by Rollins, Carmines & Co., from Hamp- 
ton, Va., 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- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy animal substance.
On September 17, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
