1576. Adulteration of frozen haddock fillets.     V. S. v. 300 Cases and 401 Cases
of  Frozen Haddock Fillets.    Default decree  of condemnation  and de- 
struction.    (F. D. C. No. 2305.    Sample No. 4651-E.)
This product was in whole or in part decomposed.
On July 5, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Michigan filed a libel against 701 cases of frozen haddock fillets at Grand 
Rapids, Mich., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about June 17, 1940, by the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., from 
Boston, 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: "Produced by Gloucester Fresh Fish Co., 
Frosted Seafoods, Boston, Mass., Northeast Hadd Fillets."
On August 19, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
