25008. Adulteration of blueberries.    U. S. v. 22 Crates of Blueberries.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 36238. Sample 
no. 42744-B.)
This case involved a shipment of blueberries which were infested with 
maggots.
On August 6, 1935, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 22 crates of blue- 
berries at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about August 2, 1935, by D. E. Mahoney, from Frackville, 
Pa., 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 28, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGO, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
