This product was in part moldy.
On September 21, 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 one barrel of frozen 
strawberries at Spokane, Wash., alleging that the article was shipped from Port- 
land, Oreg., in interstate commerce on or about September 9, 1937, by Frisbies
Maple Sugar & Maple Syrup Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a decomposed and putrid vegetable substance.
On November 18, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion and order of destruction was entered.
HABBY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
