Sample No. 17223-D.)
This product was moldy.
On March 14, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a 
libel praying seizure and condemnation of 12 cases of canned peach preserves 
at Washington, D. C, alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
February 17, 1938, by Francis H. Leggett & Co. from Philadelphia, Pa., and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Baron's Pure Peach Preserves H. Baron & Co. * * * 
Brooklyn, N. Y."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On April 28, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
