29609. Adulteration of flour.     U.  S. v. 56 Sacks of Flour.    Default decree of 
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43835.    Sample No. 38470-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 September 10, 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 56 sacks of flour 
at Little Rock, Ark.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
May 17, 1938, by Arkansas City Flour Mills Co. from Arkansas City, Kans.; 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: "Peter Rabbit Guaranteed Flour."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy vegetable substance.
On October 7, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
