29844. Adulteration of  sausage  flour.    U.   S.  v.  9  Barrels  of   Sausage   Flour.
Default decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 43326. 
Sample No. 23818-D.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was found to 
be insect-infested.
On August 19, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of nine barrels of sausage flour 
at Fort Worth, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
April 19, 1938, from Omaha, Nebr.; and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Griffith's Processed 
Sausage Flour   *   *   *   The Griffith Laboratories Chicago."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On November 22, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
