24175. Adulteration of   apples.    U.    S.   v.   38   Crates   of   Apples.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 35076. Sample 
no. 25202-B.)
Examination of the apples involved in this case showed the presence of 
arsenic and lead in amounts that might have rendered them injurious to health.
On November 30,1934, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 3S crates of apples at Chi- 
cago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about November 20, 1934, by John Lore, from Fennville, Mich., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous 
and deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, in amounts that might have 
rendered it injurious to health.
On January 16,1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
