This product was contaminated with Escherichia coli.
On February 25, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York filed a libel against 20 60-pound cartons of pecan pieces at New 
York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about January 31,' 1942, by Dasher Pecan Co. from Valdosta, Ga.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in cart of a
filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions 
whereby it might have become^ contaminated with filth.
On March 19, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed..
