decree of condemnation. Product ordered released under bond for 
segregation and destruction of unfit portion. (F. & D. No. 44468. Sample 
No. 26174-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 in part moldy and decomposed.
On December 6, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 56 bags of Brazil 
nuts at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
November 23, 1938, by W. A. Camp Co. from Hoboken, N. J.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
- The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On December 20, 1938, the W. A. Camp Co., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that the unfit portion be segre- 
gated and destroyed.
