148. Adulteration of raw sugar.     V. S.  v.  947 Bags of Raw Sugar.     Decree of
condemnation.     Product released under bond.     (F. D.  C. No.  633.     Sample 
No. 56680-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce. At the time of examina- 
tion and while in interstate commerce, it was found to be contaminated with 
petroleum oil and to be wet and water-soaked. A large part contained a sub- 
stantial amount of extraneous matter, mostly sawdust and wood chips.
On September 21, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of California filed a libel against 947 bags, each containing 100 pounds of raw 
sugar, alleging that the article had been shipped from Lihue, T. H., by American 
Factors, Ltd.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly 
or in part of a filthy substance.
On September 27, 1939, Nick Manno, San Francisco, Calif., having appeared as 
claimant and the case having been submitted to the court on the libel and the 
claimant's answer, judgment of condemnation was entered, and the product was 
ordered released under bond conditioned that it should not be sold or disposed 
of contrary to law. It was reconditioned by manually removing all filthy and 
contaminated portions and destroying them.
