184. Adulteration of ready-mix flour.    U. S. v. 9 Cases of Buckwheat, Corn, and
Wheat Flour.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C.
No. 1129.    Sample No. 56453-D.)
On December 6, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of California filed a libel against nine cases, containing 12 sacks each of ready- 
mix flour, at Stockton, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about October 12, 1938, by Quaker Oats Co. from 
Salt Lake City, Utah; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted 
wholly or in part of a filthy substance. The article was labeled in part: 
"Aunt Jemima Ready-Mix    *    *    *   Flour."
On January 18, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
