26635. Adulteration of ciscoes  (fish).    U. S. ?. 5 Boxes of Ciscoes.    Default de-«
cree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 88588.    Sample no. 
17113-C.)
This case involved a shipment of ciscoes which were infested with worms.
On October 28, 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 five boxes of 
ciscoes at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in foreign 
commerce on or about October 27, 1936, by the Main Fish Co., Ltd., from Mon- 
treal, Quebec, Canada, 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 animal substance and in that it consisted of portions of 
animals unfit for food.
On November 10, 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.
