This product was infested with parasitic worms.
On July 13, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 15 boxes of fish at 
Philadelphia, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about July 11,1938, by Main Fish Co. from New York, N. Y., and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "From Main Fish Co., Ltd.    *    *    *    Montreal, Que."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy animal substance.
On August 2, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
