Examination of this product showed the presence of moldy berries.
On or about December 15, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Missouri filed a libel against 1 barrel of frozen blackberries at Kansas 
City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about September 16, 1941, by Taeoma Ice Co. from Sumner, Wash.; and charg- 
ing that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed 
substance. The article was labeled in part: "National Fruit Canning Co. Seattle, 
Wash.   *   *   * ¦ Cultivated Blackberries."
On February 13, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
