This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining 
unsold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found 
to contain evidence of the presence of filth.
On August 12, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 70 pound cans 
of crab meat at Philadelphia, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
on or about August 10, 1938, by R. Ei Spencer & Bro. from Cape Charles, 
Va.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted of a filthy animal 
substance.
On September 13, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
