30498. Adulteration of corn meal.    U. S. v. 269 Bags of  Corn Meal.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F.  & D. No.  44094.    Sample 
No. 49787-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 21, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 269 bags of corn 
meal at Jackson, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
August 18, 1938, by the Quaker Oats Co. from St. Joseph, Mo.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part: "Sea Breeze Cream Corn Meal."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On May 2, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
