On or. about September 17, 1943, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Missouri filed a libel against 100 bushels of Jonathan apples at 
Kansas City, Mo.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 20, 1943, by Don F. Bau from Springdale, Ark.; 
' and charging that it was adulterated in that it contained an added poisonous or 
deleterious substance, lead, which might have rendered it injurious to health. 
The article, was labeled in part: (Baskets) "Jonathan Apples No. 1 Packed 
by Lowell Fruit Co., Springdale, Ark."
On October 15, 1943, E. E. Fadler Company, agent for the Lowell Fruit Co.,

product was ordered released under bond to be reconditioned by cleansing or 
peeling under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration. The apples 
were satisfactorily reworked and the peelings were destroyed.
