25164. Adulteration of canned mushrooms.    TT. S. v. S Cases of Canned Mush¬
rooms.     Consent   decree  of  condemnation   and  destruction.     (F.   &  D.
no. 36318.    Sample no. 44403-B.)
This case involved a shipment of canned mushrooms which were decomposed, 
underprocessed, and in a state of active spoilage.
On September 11, 1935, the United States attorney for the Western 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 eight cases, each 
containing 12 cans of mushrooms, at Buffalo, N. Y., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 15, 1935, by the 
Michigan Mushroom Co., from Niles, Mich., and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Our Lady's 
Fancy Mushrooms Sliced Michigan Mushroom Company Niles, Mich."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On September 23, 1935, the Michigan Mushroom Co. having consented to the 
entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered | 
that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
