26365. Adulteration of crab meat.     IT. S. v. 1 Barrel and 1 Barrel of Crab Meat.
Default decrees of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. nos. 87903, 
38076.    Sample nos. 6718-C, 6725-C.)
These cases involved crab meat that contained filth.
On July 16 and July 20, 1936, the United States attorneys for the District of 
Columbia, and the Southern District of New York, acting upon reports by the 
Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the respective district courts libels praying 
seizure and condemnation of one barrel of crab meat at Washington, D. C, and 
one barrel of crab meat at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 13 and July 15, 1936, by the 
Morgan City Fishery from Morgan City, 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 September 24 and September 80, 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.
