The law says that a product shall be deemed to be adulterated if it 

 consists in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal 

 or vegetable substance, or is otherwise unfit for food. 



That such fruit containing worms, bugs, and excrement from same is 

 unfit for food no one would deny. That being the case, dealers are 

 cautioned about offering such fruit for sale during warm weather, when 

 they are so likely to be in bad condition. If offered for sale after the 

 weather is warm, such products should be looked into to see that they 

 are all right.
