26428. Adulteration of  crab  meat.     TT.   S.  v.   1  Barrel  of  Crab   Meat.     Default
decree of  condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D.  no. 38175.    Sample 
no. 16352-C.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of crab meat that contained filth.
On August 14, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one barrel of crab meat at Balti- 
more, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about August 10, 1936, by the Sanitary Crab Co., from Colonial Beach, 
Va., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a filthy animal substance.
On September 23, 1936, no claimant having appeared, default decree of 
condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
