This case involved crab meat that was filthy.
On August 7, 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 one barrel of 
crab meat at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 5, 1936, by Crisfield Packing Co., from 
Crisfield, 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 August 28, 1936, no claimant appearing, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
