1642. Adulteration of raisins.     U.  S. v. 500  Cartons of Raisins.     Default  de¬
cree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D.  C. No. 3293.    Sample No. 
34499-B.)
On October 28, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 500 cartons of raisins at New York, N. Y., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 22, 
1940, by the Consolidated Packing Co. from San Francisco, Calif.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed 
substance. The article was labeled in part: "Honey Bunch Brand Midget 
Thompson Seedless Raisins."    .
On May 2, 1941, Reiss & Bernhard, Inc., New York, having intervened as 
claimant but having failed to file an answer to the libel, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
