On February 25, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Virginia filed a libel against 11 cartons, each containing 50 pounds, of pecan pieces 
at Richmond, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about January 
30,1941, by Southern Edible Products Co. from Albany, Ga.; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. It 
was labeled in part: "Bessire & Co. Inc.   Richmond, Va."
On June 11,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
