4623. Adulteration of apples.   IT. S. v. 13 Boxes and 57 Boxes of Apples.   Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 8980. Sample Nos. 
5841-F, 5842-F.)
On November 30, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Tennessee filed a libel against 70 boxes, each containing 40 pounds, of apples
at Memphis, Tenn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about October 23,1942, by the Fruit Growers Service Co., Inc., from 
Wenatchee, Wash.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it contained 
added poisonous or deleterious substances, arsenic and lead, which might render 
it injurious to health. The article was labeled in part: "Boy Blue Brand Wenat- 
chee Apples," or "C Grade Red Delicious * * * Luxor Wenatchee Apples." 
On January 25, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
