25448. Adulteration of   crab   apples.     U.   S.   v.   7   Bushels   of   Crab   Apples.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. S6488. 
Sample no. 34443-B.)
This case involved crab apples that were contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On September 14, 1935, the United States attorney for the Northern District
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 7 bushels of crab 
apples at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about September 8,1935, by Rosenthal & Stockfish, from Benton 
Harbor, Mich., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.   The article was labeled in part: "Steve Awdukewich R 1 Sodus Mich."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous 
and deleterious Ingredients, arsenic and lead, in amounts which might have 
rendered it injurious to health.
On November 1, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
