475. Adulteration of shelled peKans.     F. S. v. 5 Cases of Shelled PeKans.    De¬
fault decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.
1185.    Sample No. 74878-D.)
This product was in interstate commerce when examined, at which time it 
was found to be rancid and insect-infested.
On December 13, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota 
filed a libel against five cases of shelled pecans at Minneapolis, Minn., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 
20, 1938, by the Alamo Pecan Co. from Kansas City, Mo.; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy and decom- 
posed substance. The article was labeled in part: "Superior Brand Alamo 
Shelled PeKans."
On January 24, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
