This product was infested with maggots.
On July 28, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 21 crates of huckle- 
berries at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about July 27, 1937, by James W. Brittingham from 
Parsonbury, Md., 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, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On August 16, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
