1269. Adulteration of crab meat.     U. S. v. 200 Cans of Crab Meat.     Default de¬
cree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 2214.    Sample No. 
9434-E.)
This product contained evidence of the presence of filth.
On June 7, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania filed a libel against 200 cans of crab meat at Philadelphia, Pa., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
June 4, 1940, by the George Martin Sea Food Co. from Westwego, La.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy animal substance.
On June 27, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
