On or about July 29,1943, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York filed a libel against 13 cases, each containing 20 pounds, of macaroni 
at Bronx, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about July 6, 
1943, by B. Filippone & Co., from Passaic, N. J.; and charging that it was adul- 
terated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The article 
was labeled in part: "Puccini Brand   *    *- *   Macaroni."
On August 16, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
