150. Adulteration of gelatin dessert  powder.     U.  S. v.  6,000 Pounds  of Jell-O 
Products.     Default   decree   of  condemnation  and  destruction.      (F.   D.   C.
No. 452.    Sample No. 50y27-I>.)
This product at the time of examination and while in interstate commerce, 
was found to be fire- and water-damaged and moldy. It consisted of a portion 
of the stock involved in a warehouse fire at Spokane, Wash.
On August 18, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho 
filed a libel against 6,000 pounds of Jell-O at Lewiston, Idaho, alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 20, 1939, by 
W. M. Jackson from Spokane, Wash.; and charging that it was adulterated in 
that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed substance or was otherwise 
unfit for food, and in that it had been hold under unsanitary conditions whereby 
it might have become contaminated with filth.
On September 27, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
