They involve foods which were adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act when introduced into and while in interstate commerce, or while held for sale after shipment in inter- state commerce. These eases involve (1) seizure proceedings which were termi- nated with the entry of decrees of condemnation after default or consent; (2) criminal proceedings which were terminated upon pleas of guilty and a verdict of not guilty; (3) injunction proceedings terminated with the entry of an injunction; and (4) contempt proceedings for violation of an injunction which were dismissed. The seizure proceedings are civil actions taken against the goods alleged to be in violation, and the criminal, injunction, and contempt proceedings are against the firms or individuals charged to be responsible for violations.
