26030. Adulteration of  cheese.     IT.   S.  v.   56   Cheeses.     Default  decree  of  con¬
demnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 37392.     Sample no. 55672-B.)
This case involved a shipment of cheese that contained insect debris, rodent 
hairs, and nondescript dirt.
On March 20, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 56 cheeses, un- 
labeled, at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about January 2, 1936, by Sam Konugres, from Trinidad, 
Colo., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy animal substance.
On June 24, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
