30846. Adulteration of frozen fish.    U. S. v. 300 Cartons of Red Perch Fillets.
Default decree of condemnation. Product ordered disposed of for 
fertilizer.    (F. & D. No. 44995.   Sample No. 54630-D.)
This product was infested with parasitic worms.
On March 10, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 300 cartons of red perch 
fillets at Chicago, Ill.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about February 24, 1939, by the Frosted Foods Sales Corpora- 
tion from Boston, Mass.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Birds Bye Frosted Foods 
Fillets."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy animal substance.
On April 21, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered converted into fertilizer.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
