This product contained insect fragments and rodent hairs.
On February 23, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of three cases of Lim- 
burger cheese at Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about November 11, 1937, by J. & H. Van Vleck from 
Westernville, N. Y., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The article was labeled in part: "Fairmont's Limburger New York State 
Better Cheese   Distributed by The Fairmont Creamery Co."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy animal substance.
On April 13,1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
