29203. Adulteration of crab apples. IT. S. v. 50 Bushels of Hyslop Crab Apples. 
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 42128. 
Sample No. 59437-C.)
This product was contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On or about October 5, 1937, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 50 bushels of crab 
apples at Peoria, Ill.; alleging that on or about September 26, 1937, the Handler 
Produce Co. transported the article from Benton Harbor, Mich., to itself at 
Peoria, Ill.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "Erwin Weber No. 2 Benton Harbor, Mich."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous or 
deleterious ingredients, namely, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered it 
harmful to health.
On December 13, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BEOWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
