30350. Adulteration of flour.   U. S. v. 94 Sacks of Flour.   Decree of condemnation.
Product released under bond.     (F. & D. No. 444S1.    Sample No. 36113-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 December 8, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 94 sacks of flour at 
Stockton, Calif.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about June 
24 and July 2, 1938, by Centennial Flour Mills from Portland, Oreg.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Centennial Bluestem Bakers Flour."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On January 6, 1939, Centennial Flouring Mills Co., Seattle, Wash., having 
appeared as claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that it should not be disposed 
of in violation of the law.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
