25173. Adulteration of   huckleberries.     IT.   S.   v.   14   Crates   of  Huckleberries.
Decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 36292.    Sample 
no. 37441-B.)
This case involved a shipment of huckleberries that contained maggots.
On July 27, 1935, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and coildemnation of 14 crates of 
huckleberries at Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about July 20 and July 21, 1935, by H. G. Reeves, 
from Atkinson, N. C., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.    The article was labeled in part: "H. G. Reeves, Atkinson, N. C."
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 1, 1935, the consignee of the product having requested its destruc- 
tion, judgment was entered ordering that it be destroyed immediately.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
