These cases involved Limburger Spread that contained worm and insect 
fragments.
On April 23, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
libels praying seizure and condemnation of 580 jars of Limburger Spread in 
various lots at Passaic, Hackensack, West New York, Summit, and Hoboken, 
N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in various shipments between 
the dates of April 1 and April 8, 1930, by B. Chesman & Son, Inc., from New 
York, N. Y., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
On April 24, 1936, the United States attorneys for the Southern District of New 
York, and the Eastern District of New York, filed libels against 485 jars of 
Limburger Spread in various lots at New York, Yonkers, Elmhurst, Lynbrook, 
Jamaica, and Queens Village, N. Y., consigned between the dates of March 30 
and April 8, 1936, alleging that the article had been shipped by the Modern
Dairy & Grocery Co., Ina, from Paterson, N. J., and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Bor- 
den's Buffalo Brand Limburger Spread."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy animal substance.
On June 6, July 16, August 11, and August 22, 1936, no claimant having 
appeared, judgments of condemnation were entered and it was ordered that 
the product be destroyed.
