This product contained parasitic worms.
On March 14, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 172 cartons of 
red perch fillets at Pittsburgh, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about February 4, 1989, by Frosted Foods Sales 
Corporation from Boston, Mass.; and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Birds Eye Frosted 
Foods   *   *   *   Packed For Frosted Foods Sales Corporation New York."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy 
animal substance.
On April 8, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
