2900. Adulteration of apples.     V. S. v. 370 Bushels of Apples.    Consent decree
of condemnation.     Product ordered released under bond for removal of 
deleterious substances.     (F. D. C. No. 6221.    Sample No. 71544-E.)
On or about October 29, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern Dis- 
trict of Missouri filed a libel against 370 bushels of apples at Hannibal, Mo., alleg- 
ing that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 
11, 1941, by T. C. Coffman & Son from Barry, Ill.; and charging that it was adul- 
terated in that it contained added poisonous or deleterious substances, i. e,, arsenic 
and lead, which might have rendered it injurious- to health.
On November 8, 1941, the claimant having admitted the allegations of the 
libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered released 
under bond conditioned that all deleterious substances be removed therefrom 
under the supervision of the Pood and Drug Administration,
