This product was worm-infested.
On February 1, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 280 boxes of evaporated apples at 
Denver, Colo., consigned by Claypool & Hazel, alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 9, 1937, from Springdale, 
Ark., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
article was labeled in part: "Morning Glory Brand Evaporated Apples. Packed 
By Claypool & Hazel, Springdale, Ark."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On February 11, 1938, Claypool & Hazel, having signed an acceptance of 
service and authorization, judgment of condemnation was entered and the 
product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
