On November 25 and December 27 and 31, 1941, the United States attorney 
for the Eastern District of Virginia filed libels against 10 cases each containing 
12 quart jars of sweet relish at Richmond, and 76 cases each containing 24 
9-fluid-ounce jars, 13% cases each full case containing 12 quart jars, and 21% 
cases each full case containing 4 gallon jars of sweet relish at Norfolk, Va., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the 
period from on or about July 24 to on or about November 26, 1941, by the 
Orringer Pickle Co. from New Bern, N. C.; and charging that it was adulterated 
in that it consisted in whole 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. The article was labeled in part: "Carolina Maid Brand 
Sweet Relish."
On December 13, 1941, and February 4 and April 1, 1942, no claimant having 
appeared, judgments of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered 
destroyed.
