24604. Adulteration of   canned   huckleberries.     U.   S.   v.   16   Cases   of   Canned
Huckleberries.     Default   decree   of   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   no.   35206. 
Sample no. 26112-B.)
This case involved a shipment of canned huckleberries which were infested 
with worms.
On February 28, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Utah, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 16 cases of canned huckle- 
berries at Salt Lake City, Utah, alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about September 6, 1934, by the Standard 
Brands of California, from Sumner, Wash., and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: 
"Charmed Land Brand Huckleberries Packed by Puyallup and Sumner Fruit 
Growers Association, Puyallup, Washington."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole 
or in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On April 27, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered 
finding the product adulterated and ordering that it be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
