This product was infested with worms.
On January 7, 1937, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 151 boxes of ciscoes 
at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
January 4 and January 5, 1937, by H. Meyer from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. It was labeled in part: "Products of Canada H. Meyer * * * 
Montreal, Que."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a filthy 
animal substance, and in that it consisted of portions of animals unfit for food.
On January 22,1937, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation 
were entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
