From an RJ Reynolds internal memo, dated 1990:
DAMAGED TOBACCOS
Status
Six containers of K10X KY tobacco, slightly damaged with hydraulic
fluid, were inspected at Brook Cove. The contaminated material was removed
and the tobacco okayed for usage in the burley portion of G13-23.
Significance
The passage of these tobaccos through the G13 freon expansion bath will ensure
than any possible residual contamination will be removed and only good tobacco
will reach the consumer.
