1316. Adulteration of  evaporated  apples.    U.   S.  v. 227 Boxes  of  Evaporated
Apples.1   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.
3324.    Sample No. 38158-B.)
This product contained peel, core, seeds, stems and leaves, wood splinters, 
string and rope fibers, insects, and miscellaneous dirt.
On October 31, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota 
filed a libel against 227 boxes of evaporated apples at St. Paul, Minn., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 
29, 1940, by Rosenberg Bros. & Co. from Santa Clara, Calif.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance. 
The article was labeled in part: "50 Lbs. Net * * * California Evaporated: 
Apples."
On January 31, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
Nos. 1317 to 1332 (with the exception of Nos. 1320 and 1321, which 
involve criminal actions based on insect-infested dried fruits) report seizure and 
disposition of dried fruits that had been shipped in interstate commerce and were 
in interstate commerce at the time of examination, at which time they were found 
to be insect-infested.
