24998. Adulteration of blaeberries.    U. S. v. 4% Crates of Blueberries.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 36219.    Sample 
no. 44500-B.)
This case involved a shipment of blueberries which were infested with 
maggots.
On July 31, 1935, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four and one-half 
crates of blueberries at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 30, 1935, by George Grover, 
from Pemberton, N. J., 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 vegetable substance.
On August 17, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
