This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining 
unsold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found 
to be insect-infested.
On September 3, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 546 bags of flour 
at Morgan City, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
April 9, 1938, by Blue Bonnet Flour Mills from Dallas, Tex.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part: "Blue Bonnet Our Best Flour."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On November 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
