ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about July 1, 1948, and February 12 and May 18, 
1949, from the State of Virginia into the State of North Carolina.
LABEL IN PART: "Eagle Brand Flour * * * Enriched Self-Rising [or 
"Enriched   Phosphated"]," "Gretna   Hog Feed   *   *   *   Analysis   Protein
(Min.) 15%    *   *    *   Fibre (Max.) 8%," and "Gretna   16% Dairy
Feed   Ingredients   Soy bean oil meal, peanut oil meal, cottonseed meal, corn
gluten feed   *    *    *   Proteins   (Min.)    16%    *    *    *   Fibre   (Max.)
15%."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Flour. Adulteration, Section 402 (a) (3), the product 
consisted in part of a filthy substance by reason of the presence of insect larvae, 
larval head capsules, insect fragments, mites, and rodent hair fragments; and, 
Section 402 (a) (4), it had been prepared and packed under insanitary con- 
ditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth.
Gretna 16% Dairy Feed. Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), a valuable 
constituent, peanut oil meal, had been in part omitted.   Misbranding, Section,
403  (a), the label statements "Proteins  (Min.)    16%    *   *    *   Fibre
(Max.) 15%" and "Ingredients    *    *    *    peanut oil meal" were false
and misleading since the product contained less than 16 percent of protein 
and more than 15 percent of crude fiber, and it did not contain any appreciable 
amount of peanut oil meal but contained ground peanut hulls; and, Section 
403 (i) (2), the product was fabricated from two or more ingredients, and 
its label failed to bear the common or usual name of each ingredient since 
ground peanut hulls were not declared as an ingredient.
Gretna Hog Feed. Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statements 
"Protein (Min.) 15%" and "Fibre (Max.) 8%" were false and mis- 
leading since the product contained less than 15 percent of protein and 
more than 8 percent of fiber.
DISPOSITION : February 27, 1950. Pleas of guilty having been entered, the court 
fined the corporation $450 and the individual defendant $75 and placed both
