The corn meal in all three lots was insect-infested, and that in two lots 
also contained rodent hairs and excreta.
On September 16 and on or about September 17,1941, the United States attorneys 
for the Northern District of Georgia and the Southern District of Florida filed 
libels against 32 bags of corn meal at Clarkesville, Ga., and 345 bags at Jackson- 
ville and 281 sacks at Tampa, Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce within the period from on or about July 11, 1941, to 
on or about September 2, 1941, by Interstate Milling Co. from Charlotte, N. C.; 
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: "96 Lbs. Net Fancy Table 
Meal."
On October 3 and 8,1941, the Interstate Milling Co. having appeared as claim- 
ant for the corn meal seized at Jacksonville and Tampa, Fla., judgments of 
condemnation were entered and the product was ordered released under bond 
to be reconditioned under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration 
and to be sold only for use as animal feed. On October 22, 1941, no claimant 
having appeared for the portion of the product seized at Clarkesville, Ga., judg- 
ment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
