acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 443 cases of canned pork and 
beans at Denver, Colo., consigned by Norfolk Packing Co.; alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 4, 5, and 14, 
1938, from Plattsmouth, Nebr.; and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. A portion was labeled: "General Jackson Brand * * * 
Morgan Packing Co. Austin, Ind." The remainder was labeled: "Columbus 
Brand   *   *   *   Columbus Packing Co. Columbus, Ind."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a decomposed vegetable substance.

was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
