3775. Adulteration of apple chops.    V. S. v. 692 Bags of Apple Chops.    Consent
decree of condemnation. Product ordered released under bond for sal- 
vaging.     (F. D. C. No. 7497.    Sample No. 86757-E.)
This product had been stored under insanitary conditions after shipment in 
interstate commerce and, when examined, contained rat pellets and hairs re- 
sembling rodent hairs; many of the bags had been gnawed by rats, and rodent 
pellets were found on and between the bags.
On May 19,1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois 
filed a libel against 692 bags of apple chops at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article 
' had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about February 7,1942, from Berry- 
ville, Va., that it was in possession of the D. B. Scully Syrup Co., Chicago, Ill.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy substance, and in that it had been held under insanitary conditions whereby 
it might have become contaminated with filth.
On July 15, 1942, the D. B. Scully Syrup Co., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered 
that the product be released under bond conditioned that the good portion be 
salvaged.
