29575. Adulteration of  spaghetti.     U.  S.  v.  36  Cartons  of Spaghetti.     Default
decree  of  condemnation and destruction.     (F.  & D.  No. 43380.     Sample 
No. 38407-D.)
This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining 
unsold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found to 
be insect-infested.
On August 18, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Arkansas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 36 cartons of 
spaghetti at Little Rock, Ark.; alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about May 19, 1938, by Domino Macaroni Co. from 
Springfield, Mo.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.   The article was labeled in part: "Great Scott Brand Long Spaghetti."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On September 24, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
