On September 11, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Mary- 
land filed a libel against 130 98-pound bags of flour at Baltimore, Md., alleging 
that the article had been shipped on or about July 8 and 18, 1941, by W. J. Jenni- 
son Co. from Appleton, Minn.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it 
consisted in whole 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: (Bags) "Belmont High Gluten 
Flour Bleached," or "Beulah Highest Grade Strong Bakers Flour Bleached."
On October 10, 1941, Belt's Wharf Warehouses, Inc., Baltimore, Md., having 
appeared as claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released upon the deposit of cash collateral conditioned that it be 
brought into compliance with the law under the supervision of the Food and 
Drug Administration. On October 20, 1941, the product "was denatured for use 
in making stock feed, and rebagged.
