435. Adulteration of hot sauce. U. S. v. 149 Cases of Hot Sauce. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 1516. Sample No. 56492-D.) Samples of this product were found to contain insect fragments and exces- sive mold. On February 24, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Washington filed a libel against 149 cases of hot sauce at Spokane, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 27, 1940, from Oakland, Calif., by the Independent Grocers Alliance: and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy and decomposed substance. It was labeled in part: "Roundup Brand Hot Sauce * * * Packed For Roundup Grocery Co. Spokane, Wash." On April 2, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
