This  product contained parasitic worms.
On March 28, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Indiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 238 boxes of frozen 
perch fillets at Indianapolis, Ind.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about March 15, 1939, from Boston, Mass., by 
American Fish Co.; 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 3, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
