26443. Adulteration of   dried  peaches.     U.   S.  v.  200   Cases  of  Dried   Peaches.
Default decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D.  no.  38253. 
Sample no. 3750-C.)
This case involved dried peaches that were insect-infested, decayed, and 
dirty.
On September 17, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed-in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 200 cases of dried 
peaches, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about August 19, 1936, by Not a Seed Sales Co., from Oakland, Calif., that 
It was en route, due to arrive at Boston, Mass., on or about September 18, 1936, 
and that it was adulterated 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 and decomposed vegetable substance.
On November 16, 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.
