29883. Adulteration of  walnut  meats.    U.  S.  v.  15 Boxes  of  Walnut  Bleats.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 44287. 
Sample No. 43223-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 worm-infested.
On November 7, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 15 boxes of walnut meats at Klamath 
Falls, Oreg.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about October 27, 
1938, by Sunset Nut Shelling Co. from Oakland, Calif.; and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On December 8, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
