45945-D.)
This product bore arsenic and lead spray residue.
On October 28, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Iowa, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 185 bushels of apples 
at Calmar, Iowa; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about October 24, 1938, by Morris J. Cohen from South Haven, 
Mich.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous 
or deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead spray residue, which might have 
rendered it injurious to health.
On January 6, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
