17506. Action to enjoin and restrain the interstate shipment of adulterated
prepared bakers mixes.   U. S. v. Myers & Hicks Co., Inc.   Decree for 
injunction entered.    (Inj. No. 191.)
Baltimore, Md., of prepared bakers mixes which were adulterated within the 
meaning of Sections 402 (a) (3) and (4), in that they consisted in part of 
filthy substances, such as larvae, rodent hair fragments, and insect fragments, 
and which were being prepared, packed, and held under insanitary conditions 
at the defendant's plant whereby they may have become contaminated with 
filth; that the insanitary conditions resulted from the presence of rodents, 
a cat, rodent excreta pellets, cat excreta, beetles, other insects, and nonde- 
script dirt in and around the areas in the plant where the products were being 
prepared, packed, and held, and in and around equipment and raw materials 
used in the preparation of such products.
The complaint alleged further, on information and belief, that the defend- 
ant would continue the shipment and delivery for shipment of adulterated 
bakers mixes unless enjoined from so doing, and prayed that a perpetual 
injunction issue after due proceedings and that a preliminary injunction be 
entered to be effective during the pendency of such proceedings.
DISPOSITION : On September 13, 1948, the defendant having consented thereto, 
a decree was entered enjoining and restraining the defendant from introducing, 
or delivering for introduction, food and food products, specifically, prepared 
bakers mixes which it had manufactured and prepared for shipment, or would 
manufacture and prepare for shipment.
