This product was infested with maggots.
On August 9, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 22 crates of blue- 
berries at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about August 7, 1938, by John Shimko from Tobyhanna, 
Pa.; 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, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On September 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
