30116. Adulteration of flour. U. S. v. 120 Bags of Flour. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 44471. Sample No. 50205-D.) This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold and in the original package at the time of examination, was found to be insect-infested. On December 5, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 120 bags of flour at Selma, Ala.; alleging that the article had been shipped within the period from on or about April 5, 1938, to on or about August 31, 1938, by the Cleve- land Milling Co. from Cleveland, Tenn.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled: "Bleached Elberta Patent Flour." Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance. On January 12, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
