25187. Adulteration of dried peaches and dried apples. IT. S. v. Rosenberg 
Bros. & Co. Plea of guilty. Fine, $200. (F. & D. no. 33815. Sample 
nos. 45167-A, 54498-A, 61819-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of dried peaches and dried 
apples, samples of which were found to be dirty and moldy.
On November 27, 1934, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Rosenberg Bros. & Co., a corporation, 
San Francisco, Calif., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act on or about December 4, 1933, from the State of California 
into the District of Columbia of a quantity of dried peaches, and on or about 
March 5, 1934, from the State of California into the State of Texas of a quan- 
tity of dried apples, which products were adulterated. The peaches were 
labeled in part: "Approval Brand California Recleaned Fancy Peaches Dis- 
tributed by M. E. Horton Inc. Washington D. C." The apples were labeled in 
part: "25 Lbs. Net California Evaporated Apples."
The articles were alleged to be adulterated in that they consisted in part of 
filthy vegetable and animal substance.
On September 28, 1935, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defend- 
ant company and the court imposed a fine of $200.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
