26435. Adulteration of   crab   meat.     U.   S.  v.   30  Cans   of  Crab   Meat.     Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 38201.    Sample no. 
7795-C.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of crab meat that contained filth.
On August 14, 1936, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 30 cans of 
crab meat at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 11, 1936, by W. C. Larrimore, from 
St. Michaels, Md., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted of a filthy animal 
substance.
On September 9, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
