1882. Adulteration of date nut confection.    V. S. v. 254 Boxes of Date Nut Con¬
fections.   Consent decree of condemnation.   Product released under bond 
for reconditioning.    (F. D. C. No. $529.    Sample No. 55727-E.)
This product was undergoing fermentation.
On December 16, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of California filed a libel against 254 boxes of the above-named product at Los 
Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about December 9, 1940, by the Satterberg Brokerage Co. from 
Portland, Oreg.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly 
or in part of a decomposed substance. This shipment comprised a lot of goods 
that had been rejected and returned to the original shipper. The article was 
labeled in part: "LA-Nut Brand * * * L. A. Nut House, Los Angeles Cali- 
fornia, Coconut Rolled, Walnut Stuffed, Calif Date Nut Confection."
On January 4, 1941, the Los Angeles Nut House having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and the product was ordered released under bond 
conditioned that it should not be disposed of in violation of the law.
