29748. Adulteration of flour.    U. S. v. 123 Bags of Flour.    Decree of condemna¬
tion.     Product   released   under  bond   to   be  salvaged  as  animal  food.
(F. & D. No. 43968.    Sample No. 49753-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 and to contain rodent hairs.
On or about September 28, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 123 bags of 
flour at Greenwood, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about March 22, 1938, by Nashville Roller Mills from Nashville, Tenn.; and
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. It was labeled in 
part: "Tempt-U Self-Rising Flour."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a filthy vegetable substance.
On October 27, 1938, Le Flore Grocer 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 for animal feed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
