2540. Adulteration of  sugar.     IT.   S.  v.  34 Bags  of   Sugar.     Default  decree  of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No, 4926.    Sample No.  67191-E.)
This product had been stored under insanitary conditions in the factory of the 
consignee; and the bags containing it were contaminated with rodent hairs, 
urine stains, and other soiled areas. Because of the porous character of the 
bags, the sugar itself had undoubtedly become contaminated.
On June 17, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Arkansas filed a libel against 34 100-pound bags of sugar at Little Rock, Ark., 
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about February 15, 1941, by J. 
Aron & Co. from Schriever, La.; and charging that it was adulterated in that 
it had been held under insanitary conditions whereby it might have become 
contaminated with filth. It was labeled in part: "Supreme Extra Fine Granu- 
lated Pure Cane Sugar."
On October 2, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
