5483. Adulteration of evaporated milk. IT. S. v. 222 Barrels of Evaporated Milk. 
Default decree of condemnation. Product ordered sold by marshal on 
condition that it should not be disposed of in violation of law.     (F. D. C.
No. 9801.   Sample Nos. 6384-F, 63S5-F,6389-F, 6390-F.)
This product had been damaged by fire and water, and examination showed 
that it was undergoing progressive decomposition.
On April 13, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri filed a libel against 222 barrels of evaporated milk at St. Louis, Mo., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
November 21, 1942, by Armour & Co. from Stoughton, Wis.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed sub- 
stance.   The article was labeled in part: "Armour's   *   *   *   Evaporated Milk."
On July 23, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered sold by the marshal on condition that 
the purchaser adopt such safeguards as might be directed by the Federal Security 
Agency against the product being disposed of in violation of the law. The swelled 
and rusted cans were sorted
, out and destroyed.
