This product contained parasitic worms.
On May 23, 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 67 boxes of red
perch fillets at Pittsburgh, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about May 5, 1939, from Boston, Mass., by T. & J. 
Busalacchi Bros.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy animal substance.
On June 15, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
