29304. Adulteration of apples.    TJ. S. v. 140 Bushels and 50 Bushels of Apples.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 40545. 
Sample Nos. 64513-C, 64515-C.)
This product was contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On October 8, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 190 bushels of apples 
at Dallas, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce by John W. Trammell to himself at Dallas, Tex., on or about October 1, 
1937; and charging that the article was adulterated in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the apples contained added poisonous in- 
gredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered them injurious to 
health.
On November 13, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
