article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 20,1943, by the 
Cedergreen Frozen Pack Corporation from Wenatchee, Wash.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of filthy substances, an 
excessive amount of decayed organic matter, together with some diatomaeeous 
earth and silica, constituents characteristic of a humus material probably de- 
rived from a bog. The article was labeled in part: (Packages) "Flav-R-Piac 
Fresh Frozen Spinach * *• * Packed For North Pacific Canners & Packers,. 
Inc. Portland, Oregon."
