This product was found to be in various stages of decomposition.
On July 22, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of three cans of cream at Denver, 
Colo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about July 9, 1937, in part by R. B. Davidson from Dumas (P. O. Channing) 
Tex., and in part by Glen L. Horney from Brewster, Kans., 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, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On July 22, 1937, the consignee having admitted the allegations of the libel 
and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment was entered ordering 
that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
