27934. Adulteration of strawberries.    U. S. v. 2 Barrels of Frozen Strawberries.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 40008. 
Sample No. 39350-C.)
This product was in whole or in part moldy.
On July 22, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of two barrels of frozen 
strawberries at Berkeley, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about July 14, 1937, by the Terminal Ice & Cold 
Storage Co. from Portland, Oreg., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.   The article was labeled in part: "Emery Co.   Strawberries."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
decomposed vegetable substance.
On January 13, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BEOWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
