These walnut meats were in part wormy and moldy.
On December 16, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Utah, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 24 cartons of walnut meats 
at Salt Lake City, Utah, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about November 25, 1936, by the Los Angeles Nut House from 
Los Angeles, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act    It was labeled in part: "L. A. Nut House    *    *    *    Los Angeles."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On January 30, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered 
ordering that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
