This product was contaminated with fecal Escherichia coli. It also contained 
rodent hairs.
On January 9, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Nebraska 
filed a libel against 10 cases of shelled pecans at Omaha, Nebr., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about November 20 and 
22, 1940, by Frank Springer from San Antonio, Tex.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance. The 
article was labeled in part: "60 Lbs. Net."
On May 16,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
