fault decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 1492. Sample 
No. 77185-D.)
This product was made from peanuts which were in whole or in part, dirty.
On February 21, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
North Carolina filed a libel against 10 cases of peanut butter at Ahoskie, N. C, 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
January 29, 1940, by Southgate Foods from Norfolk, Va.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. 
The article was labeled in part: (Jars) "Lynnhaven Brand Peanut Butter."
On August 24, 1940, Southgate Foods, claimant, having withdrawn its answer, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
