27345. Adulteration of crab meat. U. S. v. 1 Barrel of Claw Crab Meat, et al. 
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 39559. 
Sample nos. 22904-C, 22905-C, 22906-C.)
This case involved crab meat that was filthy.
On April 29, 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 three barrels and one box 
of crab meat at Baltimore, Md., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about April 27, 1937, by L. G. Ambos from Thunderbolt, Ga., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: (Tag) "From Louis G. Ambos * * * Thunderbolt 
Georgia."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a filthy animal substance.
On June 4, 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.
