30569. Adulteration of crab meat. V. S. v. Five Gans of Grab Meat. Default 
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 45271. Sample 
No. 43559-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold in 
the original packages. At the time of the examination it was found to be in part 
decomposed.
On May 4, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five cans of crab 
meat at Oakland, Calif.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about April 22, 1939, from Cushman, Oreg., by Waldport 
Sea Food Co., Inc.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On May 31, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
