On April 3,1943, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois 
filed a libel against 2 30-pound cartons of shelled pecans at Chicago, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 8, 
1943, by the Southern Edible Products Co. from Albany, Ga.; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of filthy substances, Esch. 
coli and rodent hairs.
On May 11,1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
