26565. Adulteration of blueberries.    IT. S. v. 7 Crates of Blueberries.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & L>. no. 38128.     Sample no. 
9474-C.)
This case involved a shipment of blueberries that were infested with maggots.
On July 27, 1936, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of seven crates of 
blueberries at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about July 24, 1936, by O. G. Williamson, from 
Federalsburg, Md., 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, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On August 5, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. Xi. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
