condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. G. No. 3427.    Sample No. 19996-E.)
Examination of this product showed that it contained added water.
On November 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Pennsylvania filed a libel against 300 cans of oysters at Altoona, Pa., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce by the Union 
Fish Co. from Baltimore, Md., on or about November 18, 1940; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that water had been substituted in whole or in 
part therefor, and in that water had been added thereto or mixed or packed 
therewith so as to Increase its bulk or weight, reduce its quality, or make it 
appear better or of greater value than it was.
On December 19, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered 
ordering destruction of the product.
