28269. Adulteration of apples.    U. S. v. One Carload of Apples.    Default decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   No.   40928.     Sample   No. 
49493-C.)
This product was contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On November 2, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one carload of apples 
at Milwaukee, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about October 27, 1937, by Cohen & Gorden from Traverse City, 
Mich., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous 
or deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered it 
harmful to health.
On November 30, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered ordering the product destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
