This case involved crab meat that contained filth.
On April 20, 1937, 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 one barrel of crab 
meat at New York, N. Y., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about April 15, 1937, by Gulf Crest Fisheries from Jacksonville, 
Fla., 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.
On May 1, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
H. A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
