Examination showed that this product contained insect larvae.
On April 23, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 35 cases of pecans at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the 
article had been shipped on or about March 13,1941, by Durham Pecan & Peanut 
Co. from Comanche, Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance. It was labeled in part: "60 Lbs. 
Net Weight   Chief Brand Shelled Pecans   Pecan Granules."
On June 30, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
