Sample No. 54898-C.)
This product was decomposed and rat-eaten.
On November 29, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of Rhode 
Island, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of three barrels of frozen 
turkeys at Providence, R. I., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about November 18, 1937, from Fall River, Mass., by 
Armour & Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On December 15, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
