2564. Adulteration of flour.    IT. S. v. 234 Bags of Flour.    Consent decree of con¬
demnation.  . Product ordered released under bond conditioned that it be 
denatured.     (F. D. C. Nos. 5305, 5306.    Sample Nos. 49683-E, 49685-E.)
On August 5, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Alabama filed a libel against 234 bags of flour at Birmingham, Ala., alleging that 
171 bags had been shipped on or about April 30 and May 16, 1941, by General 
Mills, Inc., from Louisville, Ky., and that 63 bags had been shipped on or about 
July 3, 1941, by the Eisenmayer Milling Co. from Springfield, Mo.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance. 
The article was labeled in part: "98 Lbs. Bleached Flour Queen High Patent," 
or "24 Lbs. White Peak Bleached Self-Rising Flour."
On August 21, 1941, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered delivered under bond to the Overton-Kennedy Flour & Grain Co., 
Birmingham, Ala., claimant, conditioned that it be denatured so that it could not 
be diverted to human use.
