2153. Adulteration of  gingersnaps.    V. S. v. 12 Cartons  of X-Snaps.-   Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 3697. Sample 
No. 50486-E.)
This product consisted of gingersnaps labeled "X-Snaps," which contained 
rodent hairs and insect fragments.
On January 22, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Virginia filed a libel against 12 cartons of X-Snaps at Lynchburg, Va., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 
29, 1940, by the G. L. Baking Co. from Frederick, Md.; and charging that it was 
adulterated. 
\
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary 
conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On June 2, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
