31070. Adulteration of whisky. TJ. S. v. 2 Quarts, 58 Pints, and 211 Half Pints 
of 'Whisky.    Consent decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D.
No. 45603.    Sample No. 72457-D.)
Analysis showed that this product contained excessive quantities of aldehydes.
On January 29, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Nebraska 
filed a libel against 2 quarts, 58 pints, and 211 half pints of whisky at Omaha, 
Nebr.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about September 2, 1938, by Wathen Bros, from Bardstown, Ky.; and charging
that it was adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.   It was labeled 
in part: "Bourbon Valley Kentucky Straight Whiskey."
Adulteration was alleged in that a substance containing excessive quantities of 
aldehydes had been substituted wholly or in part for whisky; and had been 
mixed or packed therewith so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its 
quality or strength.
On February 23, 1940, all parties having any claim or interest in the property 
having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was en- 
tered and the product was ordered destroyed.
