82. Adulteration of apples.     U. S.  v. 20 Baskets of Apples.     Consent decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 503.    Sample No. 66053-D.)
On August 17, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Florida filed a libel against 20 baskets of apples at Miami, Fla., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 8, 
1939, by R. B. Dasher of Miami, Fla., from West End, N. C.; and charging that 
it was adulterated. The article had been transported from the Pinehurst Peach 
Co., Inc. It was labeled in part: "Packed by Pinehurst Peach Co., West End, 
N. C."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained an added poisonous or 
deleterious substance, lead, which might have rendered it injurious to health.
On August 18, 1939, the consignee having consented, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
