30760. Adulteration of dried apple chops.     U.  S. v. 219,900 Pounds  of Dried
Apple Chops.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. &
D. No. 45109.    Sample No. 17574-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 
decomposed, moldy, and insect-infested.
On March 29, 1939; the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 219,900 pounds of 
dried apple chops at Waynesboro, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
on or about March 16 and April 15, 1937, by the C. H. Musselman Ob. from 
Charles Town, W. Va.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On August 1, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
