30481. Adulteration of corn meal.     U. S. v. 223 Bags and 172 Bags of Corn Meal.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. Nos. 44017, 
44018.    Sample Nos. 49758-D, 49759-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 and to contain rodent hairs.
On October 28, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 395 bags of corn meal 
at Greenwood, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
September 3, 1938, by Hopkinsville Milling Co., Inc., from Hopkinsville, Ky.; 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: "Crescent Mills Hopkinsville, Ky. Sunflower Meal."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On January 26, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
