24321. Adulteration of whitefish.    U.   S.  v.  271  Boxes  of Whitefish.     Con¬
sent decree of condemnation.     Product released under bond.     (F.
& D. no. 35120.    Sample nos. 1981-B. 1982-B.)
This ease involved a shipment of whitefish which was found to be infested 
with worms.
On or about January 21, 1935, 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 271 boxes 
of whitefish at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped from 
Chucham, Province of Alberta, Canada, by McGinnis Products Corporation, on 
or about January 12, 1935, 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 animal substance, and in that it con- 
sisted of portions of animals unfit for food.
On January 21, 1935, Walker's Fulton Fish Co., Chicago, Ill., claimant, hav- 
ing admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that 
the product be released under bond, conditioned that it should not be sold or 
otherwise disposed of contrary to the provisions of the Federal Food and Drugs 
Act and all other laws.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
