This product was found to contain sand and grit. 
: On November 8, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana filed a libel against 34 cases, each case containing 12 jars of peanut 
butter, at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about September 25,1939, by Sessions Co., Inc., from Enter- 
prise, Ala.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly 
or in part of a filthy substance. It was labeled in part: "Dubon Brand Peanut 
Butter     *   *    *   Distributed By Dubon Company   New Orleans, La."
On December 30, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
