667. Adulteration of Brazil  nuts.     U.  S.  v.  60 Bags   of  Brazil  Nuts.     Decree
ordering:  product   released   under   bond   for   sorting:.     Amended   decree 
of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 988.    Sample No. 82574-D.)
This product was in interstate commerce when examined and was found 
to be in whole or in part moldy, rancid, and decomposed at that time.
On November 17, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of North Carolina filed a libel against 60 bags of Brazil nuts at Charlotte, 
N. C, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about February 24, 1939, by Wm. A. Camp Co., Inc., from Philadelphia, 
Pa.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed substance. The article was labeled in part "Tropical 
Brand."
On December 11, 1939, the Southern Fruit Co., Inc., having appeared as 
claimant, the product was ordered released under bond for sorting and dis- 
posal pursuant to law. On April 5, 1940, the court having found that the 
nuts had not been brought into compliance with the law, an amended decree 
was entered ordering their condemnation and destruction.
