30734. Adulteration of dried peaches.    U. S.    v. 48 Boxes of Peaches.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 44744.    Sample No. 
36147-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold 
and in the original packages. At the time of examination it was found to be 
insect-infested.
On January 31, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 48 boxes of peaches at Medford, 
Oreg.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about January 7, 1939, 
by Jacobsen Shealy Co., Inc., from San Francisco, Calif; and charging adultera- 
tion 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 vegetable substance.
On June 20, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
