27224. Adulteration of crab meat.    U. S. v. 1 Tub of Crab Meat.    Consent decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.      (F.   &   D.   no.   39578.     Sample  no. 
34920-C.)
This case involved crab meat that contained filth.
On May 10, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one tub of canned crab 
meat at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about May 5, 1937, by Reuthers Seafood Co., New Orleans, La., 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 May 12, 1937, the claimant having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be 
destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
