26681. Adulteration of crab meat.     U.  S. v.  1 Barrel of Crab  Meat.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 38151.    Sample no. 
7526-C.)
This case involved a shipment of crab meat that contained filth.
On August 19, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, 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 Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce by J. C. W. Tawes from Crisfield, Md., on or about August 10, 
1936, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or 
in part of a filthy animal substance.
On December 2, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
