1956. Adulteration of  canned   blackberries.     IT.   S.   v.   249   Cartons   of   Canned
Blackberries.     Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D.
C. No. 3354.    Sample No. 21855-E.)
Examination of this product disclosed the presence of moldy berries.
On November 6, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California filed a libel against 249 cartons, each containing 6 No. 10 cans, of 
blackberries at San Francisco, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about September 14, 1940, by Midfield Packers from 
Olympia, Wash.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly
or in part of a decomposed substance or was otherwise unfit for food.    The article 
was labeled in part:  (Cans) "Water Pack Blackberries   *   "*    *   Xtra Value." 
On March 18, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
