5249. Adulteration of walnut kernels.    U.  S. v.  60 Cases of Walnut Kernels.
Default decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F.  D.  C.  No.  9790. 
Sample No. 38337-F.)
' On April 13, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Wisconsin filed a libel against 60 eases, each containing 35 pounds, of walnut 
kernels at Milwaukee, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about January 22 and 23, 1943, by Block Brothers from 
Nashville, Tenn.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly 
or in part of a filthy substance, Esch. coli, an organism which indicates pollution 
of fecal origin. The article was labeled in part: "'Tennessee Belle' Brand 
Black Walnut Kernels."
On June 30, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
