18464. Adulteration   and misbranding of  oyster^.    U.  S.  v.   84   Cans,   etc.
(F. D. C No. 32181.    Sample Nos. 4078-L, 4079-L.)
stituted in part for oysters; and, Section 402 (b) (4), water had been added 
to the oysters and mixed and packed with them so as to increase their bulk or 
weight and reduce their quality.
Misbranding, Section 403 (g) (1), the oysters failed to meet the definition 
and standard of identity for oysters since they were not thoroughly drained 
and since they were in contact with fresh water for more than thirty minutes 
after leaving the shucker.
DISPOSITION: December 11, 1951. The consignee having consented, an order 
for the immediate destruction of the oysters was entered by the court since 
they had spoiled in the warehouse in which they were stored.
