29740. Adulteration of flour.     TJ. S.  v.  118,  563, 211,  and  131 Bags  of Flour.
Decree of condemnation. Product released under bond to be salvaged 
for animal food. (F. & D. Nos. 43964 to 43967, inclusive. Sample Nos.

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 27, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Mississippi, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 1,023 bags of flour 
at Greenwood, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped between the 
dates of March 1 and July 18, 1938, in part by the Fredericktown Milling Co. 
from Fredericktown, Mo., in part by Hays City Flour Mills from Hays, Kans., 
and in part by the Colonial Milling Co. from Nashville, Tenn.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was variously 
labeled in part: "Uncle Sam Soft Wheat Flour * * * Liberty Roller Mills 
Fredericktown, Mo."; "The Hays City Flour Mills Hays, Kansas Prize Win- 
ner Self-Rising Flour"; "Moonlight Standard * * * Colonial Milling Co. 
Nashville, Tenn."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On October 27, 1938, the Greenwood Grocery Co., Greenwood, Miss., having 
appeared as claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered, and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be denatured so that it 
could not be used for human consumption, but might be used as animal feed.
M, L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
