fault decree of condemnation. Product ordered sold for uses other than 
human consumption.    (F. D. C. No. 8088.    Sample No. 4605-F.)
On August 8, 1942, the United States attorney for the Middle District of Ten- 
nessee filed a libel against 46 70-pound boxes of Cheddar cheese at Nashville, 
Tenn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about July. 3,1942, by Hart County Creamery from Horse Cave, Ky.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance 
) and was otherwise unfit for food, and in that it had been prepared under insani- 
tary conditions whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.
On January 13,1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered. On February 4, 1943, the Nashville Buttermilk Co. of Nashville, 
Tenn., having offered to purchase the product and having filed a bond conditioned 
that it would not be disposed of for human consumption, the court ordered the 
product sold in accordance with such offer.
