This product was contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On October 1, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of -15 bushels of apples 
at Milwaukee, Wis.; alleging that the article had"been transported in interstate 
commerce on or about September 27, 1938, from Benton Harbor, Mich., by Gold- 
man & Lamping to themselves at Milwaukee, Wis.; and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "John 
Antes, R 1 Coloma, Mich."
Adulteration was alleged in that the article contained added poisonous or dele- 
terious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered it injurious to 
health.
On October 26, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
