On March 11, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania filed a libel against 644 cartons of assorted cookies and 10 eases 
each containing 12 cartons of chocolate chip cookies at Philadelphia, Pa., alleg- 
ing that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
February 10 and 18, 1941, by Hillman Cookie Co. from Baltimore, Md., and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy substance, and in that it might have been prepared under insanitary con- 
ditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. The article was 
labeled in part: "Freihofer's Cookies Black Walnut"; and "Hillman's Chocolate 
Chip Cookies."
On May 19, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
