473. Adulteration of pecan pieces.    U. S. v. 10 Cartons of Pecan Pieces.    Default
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 1164.
Sample No. 74875-D.)
On December 8, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota 
filed a libel against 10 cartons of dark pecan pieces at Minneapolis, Minn., alleg- 
ing that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about Sep- 
tember 25, 1939, by Travis Pecan Co. from San Antonio, Tex., and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly and in part of a decomposed 
substance.
On January 24, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a default decree of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
