These products contained rodent hairs.
On December 29, 1942, the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Tennessee filed libels against 49 cases, each containing 25 pounds, of macaroons 
and 23 cases, each containing 28% pounds, of ginger snaps at Nashville* Tenn., 
alleging that the articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
November 14, 1942, by the Runkle Co., from Kenton, Ohio; and charging that 
they were adulterated in that they consisted in whole or in part of filthy 
substances, and in that they had been prepared under insanitary conditions 
whereby they might have become contaminated with filth.
On February 11, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgments of conflenina^ 
tion were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
