24409. Adulteration of cold-pack strawberries.     TT.  S. v.  12 Barrels  of Cold-
Pack Strawberries.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. & D. no. 34526.    Sample no. 17944-B.)
This case involved cold-pack strawberries which were in part moldy.
On December 7, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Dela- 
ware, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 12 barrels of cold-pack 
strawberries at Dover, Del., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce between May 31, 1934, and June 11, 1934, by John Dulany & 
Son, from Fruitland, Md., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Cold Pack Strawberries 
Packed by John Dulany & Son.   Fruitland, Md.    *    *   *    Culls."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On April 1, 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.
