This product was infested with parasitic worms.
On October 10, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 11 boxes of tullibees 
at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about October 4, 1938, by Booth Fisheries Corporation from 
Warroad, Minn.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.   The article was labeled in part: "Lake of the Woods Tullibees."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a filthy animal 
substance and in that it consisted of portions of animals unfit for food.
On October 28, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON. Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
