(F. D. C. No. 7551.    Sample Nos. 89750-E, 89751-E.)
This product contained rodent hair and insect fragments and a portion also 
contained decomposed pickles.
On May 25, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New 
York filed a libel against 49 unlabeled barrels of pickle stock in brine at Long 
Island City, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about January 1 and April 18, 1942, by the Universal Pickle Works, 
from East New Market, Md.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy and decomposed substance.
On June 18,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
