1333. Adulteration of raspberry and blackberry preserves.    V. S. v. Pacific Food
Products  Co.,  a  corporation.     (F.  D.  C.  No.   2858.    Sample  Nos.  7437-E, 
12978-E.)
The raspberry preserves contained insects and larvae, and the blackberry pre- 
serves contained mold.   ,
On November 15, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington filed an information against the Pacific Food Products Co., a cor- 
poration, Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment within the period from on or about
August 28, 1939, to March 18, 1940, from the State of Washington into the State 
of California, of quantities of blackberry and raspberry preserves that were 
adulterated. The raspberry preserves were labeled in part: "Sunny Jim 
Brand   *    *  *   Pure Raspberry Preserves."
It was alleged that the blackberry preserves were adulterated in that they 
consisted in whole and in part of a decomposed substance; and that the raspberry 
preserves were adulterated in that they consisted in whole and in part of a 
filthy substance.
On December 9, 1940, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $50.
