1318. Adulteration Of dried fruits.    U. S. v. 47 Cases of Currants,  89 Cases of
Prunes, and 300 Cases of Raisins.    Default decree of condemnation and 
destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 2751.    Sample Nos. 20443-B to 20447-B, Incl.)
The room of the warehouse in which these products were stored was infested 
with weevils.
On or about September 19, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida filed a libel against the above-named products at Miami, Fla., 
alleging that they had been shipped in interstate commerce within the period 
from on or about December 2, 1939, to on or about February 28, 1940, by Rosen- 
berg Bros. & Co. from San Francisco, Calif.; and charging that they were 
adulterated. They were labeled in part variously: "Iris Brand California Cur- 
rants [or "Prunes" or "Raisins"] * * * Jobbers Special Brand California 
Thompson Seedless Raisins"; or 'Eureka Brand California Golden Bleached 
Thompson Seedless Raisins."
The articles were alleged to be adulterated in that they consisted in whole or 
in part of filthy substances; and in that they had been held under insanitary 
conditions whereby they might have become contaminated with filth.
On December 17,1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
