2641. Adulteration of popcorn.    U. S. v. 8 Bags of Popcorn.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 6159.    Sample No. 74561-E.)
This product contained rodent excreta, rodent hair, insect fragments, and 
rodent-eaten grains.
On November 6, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 8 bags of popcorn at New York, N. Y., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 14, 1941, by 
Royale Popcorn Co., Inc., from Cleveland, Ohio; and charging that it was adul- 
terated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. A portion 
of the product was labeled in part: "Royale Brand" or "Bingo Brand Popcorn."
On December 3, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
