26326. Adulteration of canned peas.     17. S. v. 102 Cases of Canned Garden Peas.
Default  decree  of  condemnation  and destruction.     (F.  & D.  no.  87622. 
Sample nos. 59145-B, 68657-B.)
This case involved canned peas that were partially decomposed.
On April 20, 1936, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Oklahoma, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 102 cases of canned 
peas at Oklahoma City, Okla., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 14, 1935, by the Smith Canning Co., 
from Clearfield, Utah, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs  Act.   The  article was labeled  in part: "Cabro  Brand  Garden  Peas
* *    *   Packed for Carroll-Brough-Robinson Oklahoma City, Enid, Okla." 
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in
part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On September 25, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
