30418. Adulteration of  walnut  meats.     IT.  S.  v.  3ys   Cases  of Walnut  Meats.
Default  decree   of condemnation and  destruction.     (F. & D. No. 44389. 
Sample No. 20543-D.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was in whole 
or in part moldy, worm-infested, and decomposed.
On November 23, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 3% cases of walnut meats at Tuscon, 
Ariz.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about October 25, 1938, 
by Tom Morris from Los Angeles, Calif.; and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On February 20, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
