This product contained parasitic worms.
On May 20, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 17 boxes of perch 
fillets at Philadelphia, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about May 16, 1939, from Boston, Mass., by Cape Fish 
Co.; 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 filthy animal substance.
On June 10, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
