On February 27, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 815 cases of canned 
peas at Yakima, Wash., alleging that the- article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about November 18,1936, by the Idaho Canning Co. from Payette, 
Idaho, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
article was labeled in part: "Ida-Dell Brand * * * Packed and Guaranteed 
By Idaho Canning Co.   *   *   *   Payette, Idaho."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
decomposed and filthy vegetable substance.
On July 26, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
