27328. Adulteration of raisins.     IT. S. v. 37 Cases of Raisins.     Default decree of 
condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 39423.     Sample no. 42729-C.)
This case involved raisins that were insect-infested.
On April 22, 1937, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 37 cases, each 
containing 48 cartons of raisins, at Johnstown, Pa., alleging that they had 
been shipped in interstate commerce on or about December 27, 1935, by the 
Sunland Sales Cooperative Association, and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Sun-Maid 
Raisins * * * Sun-Maid Raisin Growers of California, of Fresno, Cal- 
ifornia."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that, it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On June 11, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
H. A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
