2613. Adulteration of.flour.     V. S. v. 73 Bags of Flour.    Default decree of con¬
demnation;   product  ordered  sold to foundry for use in making cores.
(F. D. C. No. 5835.   Sample No: 74029-E.)
On or about September 25, 1841, the United States attorney for the District 
of Connecticut filed a libel against 73 98-pound bags of flour at Bridgeport, Conn., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
June 23, 1941, by F. W. Stock & Sons from Hillsdale, Mich.; and charging that 
it was adulterated. It was labeled in part: (Bags) "High Gluten Esmeralda 
Flour."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy substance; and in that it had been held under insanitary condi- 
tions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On November 21, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. On December 1, 1941, 
an amended decree was entered ordering that the product be sold to a nearby 
foundry for use in the making of cores.
