1528. Adulteration of macaroni products.     U. S. v. 5 Cases of Farfalle Semolina,
et al.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.
3342.    Sample Nos. 32602-E to 32609-E, incl.)
These products had been shipped in interstate commerce and were in inter- 
state commerce at the time of examination, at which time they were found to 
be insect-infested.
On November 8, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona 
filed a libel against 64 bags of macaroni products at Douglas, Ariz., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 5 and 
September 26, 1940, by the Fresno Macaroni Manufacturing Co. from Fresno, 
Calif.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy substance. The article was labeled in part variously: "Farfalle 
Semolina," "Triangle Semolina," "Medium Shell Semolina," "Gnocchi Semolina," 
"Alfabet Semolina," "Star Semolina," "Ditali Semolina," "Perfection Brand 
Semolina," "Fresmaco Brand Flour," "Cut Spaghetti," or "Elbow Macaroni."
On December 13, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
