This product contained pieces of tissue other than fat, particles of liver, 
feathers, and sections of intestines containing fecal matter, and was undergoing 
decomposition.
On November 25, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York filed a libel against 30 tubs, each containing about 65 pounds, of 
raw chicken fat at New York, N.Y., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about November 9, 1942, by E. M. Niles & Co. 
from Boston, Mass.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted 
in whole or in part of a filthy and decomposed substance.
On April 23,. 1943, E. M. Niles & Co., claimant, having admitted the allegations 
of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
released under bond to be denatured so that it could not be used for food, but 
could be used as a base for soap.
