This product was filthy.
On February 18, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one barrel of crab meat at Baltimore, 
Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about February 16, 1938, from Jacksonville, Fla., by the Florida Crab Meat Co., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy animal substance.
On March 23, 1988, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
