576. Adulteration of frozen cod fillets.     IT. S. v. 22 Boxes of Frozen Cod Fillets.
Default decree of condemnation. Product ordered converted into fer- 
tilizer.     (F. D. C. No. 1623.    Sample Nos. 4301-E, 4302-E.)
On March 13, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 22 boxes of frozen fillets at Chicago, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 
1, 1940, by Atlantic Coast Fisheries Corporation of New York, from Princeton, 
Mass.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a decomposed substance. The article was labeled in part: "Atco Brand 
Fresh Frozen Fillets."
On April 8, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be disposed of by being 
converted into fertilizer.
