On or about March 25 and June 22, 1942, the United States attorneys for the 
Southern District of Florida and the District of Maryland filed libels against 
98 25-pound boxes of prunes at Miami, Fla., and 224 25-pound boxes of prunes 
at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about November 11, 1941, and January 22, 1942, by California Prune 
& Apricot Growers Association from San Jose, Calif.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The 
article was labeled in part: "California Fruits Golden Glow Brand Prunes."
On June 15 and July 30, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments were 
entered ordering that the product be destroyed.
