24349. Adulteration of tullibees.    TJ. S. v. Ed. Tveit.    Plea of guilty.    Fine,
of $50 suspended.     (F. & D. no. 32233.    Sample no. 59684-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of tullibees which were 
infested with worms.
On January 2, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Minne- 
sota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court an information against Ed. Tveit, Warroad, Minn., alleging shipment 
by said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about 
October 14, 1933, from the State of Minnesota into the State of Illinois of 
a quantity of tullibees which were adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of 
a filthy animal substance, and in that it consisted of portions of animals 
unfit for food due to infestation with parasites, i. e., worms (triaenophori) 
in large numbers.
On January 2, 1935, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court 
imposed a fine of $50. Execution of sentence was ordered stayed for a period 
of one year.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
