26606. Adulteration of cream.    U. S. v. One 5-Gallon Can, et al., of Cream.    Con¬
sent decrees of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. nos. 38256, 
38257.    Sample nos. 76S1-C, 7682-C.)
These cases involved interstate shipments of cream that was in various stages 
of decomposition.
On July 31 and August 3, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of West Virginia, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of six cans 
of cream at New Martinsville,  W. Va., alleging that the article had been
shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 28 and 29, 1936, in part 
by Clara R. Fritsche, from Lowell, Ohio, and in part by the Bowser Sales & 
Trading Corporation from Sardis, Antioch, and Olarington, Ohio, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Pood and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted of a yeasty 
and decomposed animal substance.
On July 31 and August 31, 1936, the parties in interest having waived 
service and consented to the entry of decrees, judgments were entered ordering 
that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
