29734. Adulteration of flour.    V. S. v. 32 Bass of Flour.    Default decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43533.    Sample No. 37783-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 32 bags of flour at 
New Orleans, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about March 
12, 1938, by H. C. Cole Milling Co. from Chester, Ill. • and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "White 
Ring Pure Soft Wheat Flour."
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 condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
