1831. Adulteration of pecan meats.    U. S. v. 4 Cases of Pecan Meats.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 3749.    Sample No. 
37251-B.)
This product not only was contaminated with E. coli but moldy and decom- 
posed pecans were present.
On or about February 13, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida filed a libel against 4 cases of pecan meats at Miami, Fla., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
January 10, 1941, by the Lambert Farm & Pecan Co. from Thomasville, Ga.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy and decomposed substance.
On March 6, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
