30471. Adulteration of Lingon berries.     U.  S. v.  10  Barrels and 6 Barrels of
Lingon   Berries.    Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.
(F. & D. Nos. 44778, 44779.    Sample Nos. 50914-D, 50921-D, 50923-D.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was found to 
be worm-infested.
On February 2, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 16 barrels of Lingon 
berries at Seattle, Wash.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about December 3, 1938, by Westergaard, Berg-Johnson Co. from Brooklyn, 
N. Y.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Foods and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On April 27, 1989, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
