This product had been stored under insanitary conditions after shipment. 
Rodent pellets and urine stains were noted on some of the bags, and some had 
been gnawed by rodents. Examination of samples taken from this lot showed 
that it contained rodent hairs and rodent excreta.
On October 26, 1943, the United States attorney for the Western-District of 
Washington filed a libel against 101 second-hand flour bags, each containing 
100 pounds, of doughnut flour at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article, which 
was in the possession of Cottage Donuts, Inc., had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 14, 1943, from Los Angeles, Calif.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy 
substance, and in that it had been held under insanitary conditions whereby it 
might have become contaminated with filth.
On November 30, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
