29886. Adulteration of  powdered   flavor.     U.   S.  v.  4  Drums   of  Gasco  Flavor.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No.  44036. 
Sample No. 38255-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 September 29, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four drums of Casco 
flavor at San Antonio, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about July 30, 1938, by Chapman & Smith Co. from Chicago, Ill.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part: "Rolling Pin Brand Casco Flavor a Powdered Flavor."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a filthy vegetable substance.
On December 10, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
