10204. Action to restrain the manufacture in the* District of Columbia and the
shipment in interstate commerce of adulterated bakery products. 
V. S. v. Athens Baking Co., Thomas Stethopulos, Peter Stethopulos, 
and Louis Mantis.   Injunction granted.    (In. No. 142.)
COMPLAINT FILED: On or about June 25, 1946, in the District Columbia, 
against the Athens Baking Co., a partnership, Washington, D. C, and Thomas 
Stethopulos, Peter Stethopulos, and Louis Mantis, members of the partner- 
ship. The complaint alleged that the defendants had been and were con- 
tinuing to manufacture in the District of Columbia and- introduce and deliver 
for introduction into interstate commerce bakery products that were adult- 
erated. A factory inspection of August 14,1944, showed the existence of insani- 
tary conditions resulting from heavy rodent and insect infestation and the pres- 
ence of eats. Reinspections of October 30, 1944, and March 28, 1946, showed 
that the insanitary conditions had not been corrected. Samples of the firm's 
bakery products were examined and found to contain, rodent and insect filth.
PRAYER OF COMPLAINT: That a temporary restraining order be granted, fol- 
lowed by a preliminary injunction enjoining the defendants from the com- 
mission of the acts complained of, and that, upon final hearing, the pre- 
liminary injunction be made permanent.
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (a) (3), the products consisted 
in whole or in part of filthy substances; and, Section 402 (a) (4), the pro- 
ducts had been prepared, packed, and held under insanitary conditions where- 
by they may have become contaminated with filth and whereby they may have 
been rendered injurious to health.
DISPOSITION : October 29, 1946. The defendants having consented to the entry 
of a decree, an order was entered permanently enjoining the defendants from 
commission of the acts complained of.
