29951. Adulteration of flour.    V. S. v.  9 Bags and 29 Bag's of Flour.    Default
decrees of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. Nos. 43480, 43481. 
Sample Nos. 38015-D, 38016-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 31, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 38 bags of flour at 
New Orleans, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about March 
14 and April 5, 1938, by the P. H. Postel Milling Co. from Mascoutah, Ill.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. A portion of the 
product was labeled, "Jack's Special Plain Flour"; and the remainder was 
labeled, "Jack's Special Self Rising Flour."
Adulteration was alleged in that the articles consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy vegetable substance.
On November 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
