Consent decree of destruction.     (F. & D. no. 37859.    Sample no. 73910-B.)
This case involved cream that was filthy and decomposed.
On June 12, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of eight cans of cream at 
Denver, Colo., alleging that the article had been shipped in various shipments 
in interstate commerce on or about June 9, 1936, by Paul B. Almquist from 
Wilcox, Nebr., Geo. F. Haas from Veteran, Wyo., by Curtis Roper from 
Fairmont, Nebr., by Frank Gue Creamery Co. from Crawford, Nebr., by E. W. 
White from Leoti, Kana, and by Clem Crim from Sunset, Tex., and alleging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was in whole or in 
part moldy, yeasty, putrid, filthy, and decomposed.
On June 12,1936, the Gold Coin Creamery Co., of Denver, Colo., the consignee, 
having filed a statement confessing the allegations of the libel and having 
consented to the entry of a decree, judgment was entered ordering that the 
product be destroyed.
