Examination showed that these products contained moldy nuts.
On February 4, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Virginia filed a libel against 3 cases each containing 12 cartons of 12 cellophane 
bags of pecans, and 3 cases each containing 10 cartons of black walnuts at Rich- 
mond, Va., alleging that the articles had been shipped on or about November 6 
and 15, 1940, by Southland Pecan Co., Inc., from Columbus, Ga.; and charging 
that they were adulterated in that they consisted in whole or in part of decomposed 
substances. The articles were labeled in part: (Pecans, bags) "Gold Medal 
Pecans Net Wt. 1% Oz." or (walnuts, cartons) "Net Wt. 5-lbs. * * * Black 
Walnuts."
On April 29, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
