This product contained filth.
On August 23, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Supreme 
Court of the said District a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 18 barrels 
of crab meat in the District of Columbia, alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 19, 1935, by Reuther's Sea 
Food Co., Inc., New Orleans, La., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was charged under the allegation that it consisted 
wholly or in part of a filthy animal substance.
On January 23, 1936, no claimant having appeared, a default decree of 
condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction was entered.
W. R GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
