This product was in part filthy.
On April 18, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
libels praying seizure and condemnation of 432 1-pound cans of crab meat at 
Baltimore, Md.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about April 16, 1938, by E. J. Toomer from Thunderbolt, Ga.; 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 May 25, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation 
were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
