This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold 
and in the original packages. At the time of examination one lot was in part 
decomposed and the remaining lots were infested with parasitic worms.
Between June 29 and July 15, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed libels against 1,446 boxes of frozen fish at Chicago, Ill., 
alleging that the article had been shipped within the period from about June 14 
to about July 3, 1939, from Boston, Mass., in the names of Busalacchi Bros., 
or T. & J. Busalacchi; and charging that it was adulterated.
One shipment was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance. The remaining shipments were alleged 
to be adulterated in that they consisted in whole or in part of a filthy animal 
substance.
Between July 11 and August 10, 1939, the consignees having consented to the 
entry of decrees, judgments of condemnation were entered and the product was 
ordered converted into fertilizer.
