26052. Adulteration of corn gluten feed.    U. S. v. 700 Bags of Corn Gluten Feed.
Consent decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no.  37529. 
Sample no. 61034-B.)
This case involved a lot of corn gluten feed that was water-soaked and 
moldy because of flood damage.
On April 1, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 700 bags of corn gluten feed at 
Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about March 14, 1936, by the Corn Products Refining Co., from 
Peoria, Ill., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act 
The article was labeled in part: "Buffalo Corn Gluten Feed. * * * Corn 
Products Refining Co., New York."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On April 17, 1936, the Corn Products Sale Co., having intervened and ad- 
mitted that the product should be condemned since it had been damaged by 
flood water, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that 
the product be destroyed.
W. R. GHEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
