3182. Adulteration of Brazil nuts. U. S. v. 9 Bags of Brazil Nuts. Default decree 
of condemnation.     Product ordered delivered to a charitable institution.
(F. D. C. No. 6158.    Sample No. 70026-E.)
Examination of this product showed the presence of moldy and rancid nuts.
On or about November 10, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida filed a libel against 9; bags of Brazil nuts at Jacksonville, 
Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about September 17, 1941, by T. M, Duche, & Sons from New York, N. Y.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
decomposed substance. The article was labeled in part: "World Brand New 
Crop Large Medium Brazils."
On January 7, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution 
since they were for the most part fit for human consumption. The unfit nuts 
were segregated and destroyed.
