September 27, October 11, and November 29, 1940, from the State of New Jersey 
into the State of New York of quantities of dressed poultry that was adulterated.

the product of diseased animals, and in that it was in whole or in part unfit 
for food. Portions were alleged to be adulterated further in that it was in 
whole or in part the product of animals which had died otherwise than by 
slaughter.
