27342. Adulteration of crab meat.    U. S. v. 1 Barrel and 18 Cans of Crab Meat.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & X>. no. 39550. 
Sample no. 34881-C.)
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 1 barrel and 18 cans of 
crab meat at Baltimore, Md., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about April 20, 1937, by A. G. Gollott & Sons from Biloxi, 
Miss., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "From A. G. Gollott & Sons * * * Biloxi, 
Miss."
It 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 the product was ordered destroyed.
H. A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
