default  decree  of condemnation and destruction.    (F.  D    C.  No.   7861. 
Sample No. 71270-E.)
This product contained insect fragments, wood fragments, and dirt.
On April 17,1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District of Iowa 
filed a libel against 262 cases of peanut butter at Muscatine, Iowa, alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about February 27, 
1942, by the Millard-United Co., from Chicago, Ill.; 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: (Jars) "Del 
Haven Brand Uniform Quality Peanut Butter * * * Packed for Federated 
Foods, Inc., San Francisco and Chicago."
On October 30, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
