decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 8171. Sample 
No, 17945-F.)
This product was insect-infested.
On August 20, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 60 bags, each bag containing 100 pounds, of wheat 
germ at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 1, 1942, by Freshman Vitamin Co. from Wooster, 
Ohio; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy substance. On September 10, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judg- 
ment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
