26073. Adulteration of   evaporated  apples.     V.   S.   v.   175   Bass   of  Evaporated
Apples. Product released under bond. (F. & D. no. 37661. Sample no. 
52479-B.)
This case involved a shipment of evaporated apples that contained excessive 
water.
On April 24, 1936, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 175 unlabeled bags
of evaporated apples at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been 
shipped on or about February 27, 1936, by K. & H. Evaporating Co., Inc., from 
Red Creek, N. T., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing 
excessive water had been substituted for evaporated apples, which the article 
purported to be.
On May 5, 1936, J. W. Teasdale & Co. having filed an answer admitting the 
allegations of the libel and having consented to condemnation of the product, 
judgment was entered ordering that it be released under bond conditioned that 
the excessive moisture be removed.
W. R. GSEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
