63439-C.)
This product was contaminated with arsenic.
On November 16, 1937, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 150 crates of 
cauliflower at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about November 9, 1937, from Portland, Oreg., by the 
Pacific Fruit & Produce Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained an added 
poisonous or deleterious ingredient, arsenic, which might have rendered it in- 
jurious to health.
On November 29, 1937, the Pacific Fruit & Produce Co., having stipulated 
that immediate disposition of the product was necessary, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
