26363. Adulteration of crab meat. U. S. v. 1 Barrel of Crab Meat, and one other action. (F. & D. nos. 87899, 37900. Sample nos. 6651-C, 6752-C.) These cases involved crab meat that contained filth. On July 3 and July 8, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- trict court libels praying seizure and condemnation of four barrels of crab meat at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate Commerce on or about July 1 and July 6, 1936, by Skremetta Seafood Co., from New Orleans, La., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy animal substance. On October 7, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation were entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed. M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
