8664. Adulteration of cookies.    U. S. v. 260 Cases of Cookies.    Default decree 
-v of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 6648.   Sample No. 85583-E.)
] Examination of this product showed that some of the cookies contained areas 
-' covered with small fibers suggesting lint and nondescript dirt. Investigation 
at the warehouse where it was stored showed that the cookies were in flimsy 
cartons, some of which had been broken open. Many of the exposed cookies 
were more or less covered with dust similar to that which covered the tops 
of the cartons in the top layer of the stock.
On January 7, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 260 cases of cookies at Seattle, Wash., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 
27, 1941, from Salamanca, N. Y., by George Westony Ltd.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy sub- 
stance, and in that it had been held under insanitary conditions whereby it 
might have become contaminated with filth. The article was labeled in part: 
"Weston's English Quality Biscuits."
On April 27, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
