121. Adulteration of canned blueberries.     IT. S, v. 223 Cases of Blueberries.    De¬
fault decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 567.     Sample 
No. 54937-D.)
This product had been imported. At the time of examination it was found to 
be undergoing decomposition. The inside of the cans was corroded and the 
product had an unpleasant metallic, sour, or astringent taste.
On September 12, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 223 cases of canned blueberries at Chicago, Ill., alleg- 
ing that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 
27 and November 9, 1938, by A. & R. Loggie Co., Ltd., from Loggieville, New 
Brunswick, Canada; and charging that it was adulterated. It was labeled in part: 
"Eagle Brand Standard Quality Blueberries without sugar."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a decomposed substance and was otherwise unfit for food.
On October 25, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
