29834. Adulteration of flour.    U. S. v. 20 Bags and 176 Bags of Flour.    Default
decrees of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. Nos.  43716, 43744. 
Sample Nos. 38371-D, 49622-D.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was found to be 
insect-infested.
On September 8 and 14, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Louisiana, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 20 bags of flour 
at Lockport, La., and 176 bags of flour at Plaquemine, La.; alleging that the 
article had been shipped in part on or about July 16, 1938, and in part on or 
about July 20, 1938, by G. B. R Smith Milling Co. from Sherman, Tex.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: "White Eagle Bleached Hard Wheat Flour" or "Sunlight 
Flour."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On November 5 and 9, 1988, no claimant having appeared, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
