On August 31,1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Nev 
York filed a libel against 20 bags of flour at Maspeth, L. I., N. Y., alleging that the
article had been shipped In Interstate commerce on or about February 25, 1942, 
from Minneapolis, Minn., and that it was in possession of J. Pechman & Co., Inc.; 
\nd"charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
-filthy substance, and In that it had been held under insanitary conditions whereby 
it might have become contaminated with filth. The article was labeled in part: 
"Pillsbury's Pure Dark Rye Flour."
On October 19, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
