30499. Adulteration of corn meal.    U. S. v. 326 Bags of Cream Meal.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 44211.    Sample 
No. 49800-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 October 21, 1988, 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 326 bags of corn 
meal at Jackson, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about
September 22, 1938, by Mount Vernon Milling Co. from Mount Vernon, Ind.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Degerminated Posey Country Cream 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.
