26093. Adulteration of flour. TJ. S. v. 300 Sacks of Flour. Default decree of 
condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 37736.    Sample no. 61881-B.)
This case involved flour that was badly damaged by flood water and that was 
moldy.
On or about May 19, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Con- 
necticut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 300 sacks of flour at 
Hartford, Conn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about March 10, 1936, by the Cape County Milling Co., from Jack- 
son, Mo., 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 or decomposed vegetable substance.
On June 22, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
