2203. Adulteration of frozen haddock fillets. U. S. v. 156 Boxes of Haddock Fillets. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 5151. Sample No. 59352-E.) Examination showed the presence of putrid fish. On July 16, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia filed a libel against 156 boxes of haddock fillets at Charleston, W. Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 18, 1941, by the American Fish Co., Boston, Mass.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a putrid sub- stance. The article was labeled in part: "LG Haddock Fillets." On August 5, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. 448896*—42 i
