30308. Adulteration of dried prunes.    TJ. S. v. 25 Cases of Dried Prunes.   Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 44338. Sample No. 
45017-D.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages, at the time of examination was found to be 
insect-infested.
On November 18, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Florida, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 25 cases of dried 
prunes at Panama City, Fla.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about September 1, 1937, by the California Prune & Apricot Growers' Associa- 
tion, of San Jose, Calif., from San Francisco, Calif.; and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, "Golden 
Glow Prunes."
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy vegetable substance.
On March 6, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
