1834. Adulteration of shelled peKans.    U.  S.  v.   6  Cartons  of  Shelled PeKans.
Consent decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F.  D.   C.  No. 3867. 
Sample No. 47214-B.)
This product not only was contaminated with E. coli, but was moldy.
On February 26, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois filed a libel against 6 cartons of shelled pecans at Chicago, Ill., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
January 30, 1941, by Sam A. Pierce from Cairo, Ga.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy or decomposed 
substance.
On March 27, 1941, the claimant having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
