29716. Adulteration of flour.    U. S. v. 27 Sacks of Flour.   Default decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 43584.    Sample No. 23720-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 31, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 27 sacks of flour 
at New Iberia, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
April 25, 1938, by Shawnee Milling Co. from Shawnee, Okla.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. It was labeled in part: 
"Bleached The Bakers Pipe of Peace Chief Shawnee."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On November 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
