This product was in whole or in part wormy and moldy.
On December 24,1936, 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 six cartons of walnut meats at 
Denver, Colo., consigned by the Progress Supply Co. from Salt Lake City, Utah, 
alleging that they had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about No- 
vember 16, 1936, from the State of Utah into the State of Colorado, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Standard Amber Walnut Meats * * * L A Nut House 
722 Market Ct. Los Angeles From Progress Supply Company Salt Lake City."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On January 14, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
