v
This case involved crab meat that contained filth.
On April 23, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
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 Balti- 
more, Md., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about April 20, 1937, by the Biloxi Seafood Co. from Biloxi, Miss., 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 26, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
H. A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
