On or about October 6, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Mississippi filed a libel against 173 98-pound bags of flour at Jack- 
son, Miss., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
.or about May 5 and July 25, 1942, by the Pillsbury Flour Mills Co., from Mem- 
phis, Tenn.; 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: "Pillsbury's 
XXXX Patent Flour," "Pillsbury's Banking XXX Flour Bleached," or "Pills- 
bury's Extra Fancy no Sheen Cake Flour Bleached."
On November 12, 1942, the Pillsbury Flour Mills Co., having appeared as 
claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered released under bond to be de- 
natured under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration, and dis- 
posed of as animal feed.
