2304. Adulteration of flour.    U. S. v. 120 Bags and 320 Bags of Flour.    Consent
decree  of  condemnation.     Product  ordered,   released under  bond to  be 
manufactured into animal feed.     (F. D. C. No. 5309.    Sample Nos. 59364-E.
59365-E.) 
Examination of this product showed that it was insect-infested, and that it 
had been stored under insanitary conditions subsequent to shipment.
On August 5, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
West Virginia filed a libel against 120 12-pound bags and 320 24-pound bags of 
flour at Huntington, W. Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about February 7, 1941, by the Pillsbury Flour Mills 
Co. from .Springfield, Ill.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance, and in that it had been held 
under insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with 
filth.   The article was labeled in part: "Pillsbury's Best Flour."
On October 9, 1941, the Grocers Wholesale Co., Louisville, Ky., while not 
appearing in the proceedings and not denying the adulteration charged but 
having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be delivered to the Grocers Whole- 
sale Co., as requested by that firm, upon payment of costs and the execution 
of a bond conditioned that it be manufactured into animal feed.
