26905. Adulteration of  walnut  meats.     U.   S. v.  50  Cartons  of Walnut  Meats.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 38868. 
Sample no. 17554-C.)
These walnut meats were wholly, or in part moldy and wormy.
On December 22, 1936, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 50 cartons of 
walnut meats at New York, N. Y., alleging that they had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about November 21, 1936, by the Whittier Walnut Pack-
ing Co., from Whittier, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On January 9, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
