1457. Adulteration of corn silk.    U. S. v. 1,418 Pounds of Corn Silk.    Default de
cree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 13818.    Sample No.
85025-F.)
On September 23, 1944, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania filed a libel against 1,418 pounds of corn silk at Philadelphia, Pa.,
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about August 17,1944, from New
York, N. Y., by J. L. Hopkins and Co.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part
of a filthy substance by reason of the presence of whole insects, beetle eggs, insect
fragments, mites, thrips, and insect excreta pellets.
On November 22, 1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna-
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
