28594. Adulteration of dried apricots. IT. S. v. 56 Boxes of Dried Apricots. De¬ fault decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 41120. Sample No. 64009-C.) This product was found to be insect-infested. On December 16, 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 56 boxes of dried apricots at Fort George Wright, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 28, 1937, by Tiedemann & Gomorrah from San Francisco, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "June 1937 Apricots * * * Tiedemann & Gomorrah, S. F." It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance. On February 2, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
