25892. Alleged Adulteration of apples.    U. S. v. 40 Bushels and 43 Bushels of
Apples.    Decree that product be Immediately destroyed entered.    (F. &
D. no. 36562.    Sample no. 19549-B.)
It was alleged that this product contained lead and arsenic.
On October 5, 1935, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Kentucky, acting upon a report by the director, Bureau Foods, Drugs and Hotels 
of the State of Kentucky, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 83 bushels of apples at Louisville, Ky., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce, on or about September 29, 1935, by 
Vincent Leone, Coloma, Mich., from that place to Louisville, Ky., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the product was charged under the allegation that it con- 
tained added poisonous or deleterious ingredients, namely, lead and arsenic, 
which might have rendered it injurious to health.
On October 24, 1935, it then appearing to the court that the seized property 
was spoiled and unfit for human consumption, a decree for its immediate destruc- 
tion was entered.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
