Ginger, 13 Bags of Turmeric, and 3 Bags of Coriander Seed. Default 
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. Nos. 8143, 8144. 8145. 
Sample Nos. 6018-F to 6020-F, incl.)
These products had been stored under insanitary conditions after shipment 
and when examined were found to be insect-infested.
On August 20, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Tennessee filed libels against 3 bags, each containing approximately 120 pounds, 
of ginger, 13 bags, each containing approximately 135 pounds, of bulk turmeric, 
and 3 bags, each containing 88 pounds, of coriander seed in possession of Canova 
Foods Inc., Memphis, Tenn., alleging that the articles had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 23, 1941, and January 15 and April 8, 
1942, and charging that they were adulterated in that they consisted in whole 
or in part of filthy substances, and in that they had been held under insanitary 
conditions whereby they might have become contaminated with filth.
On September 28, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
