(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF CANDY.
On August 28, 1911, the United States Attorney for the District?
of Connecticut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agricul??
ture, filed information in the District Court of the United States?
for said district against the Bradley-Smith Co., a corporation, New?
Haven, Conn., alleging shipment by it, in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act, on or about November 2, 1910, from the State of Con??
necticut into the State of Pennsylvania of ten boxes of candy which?
was adulterated and misbranded. The product was labeled: " Lon??
don Creams, Purity Guaranteed, Assorted, Serial No. 2628."
Analysis of a sample of said product made by the Bureau of?
Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture showed?
the following results:
Iodin number of coating?
    43. 37
Rosin?
Present
A&03 (arsenious oxid) in coating?
 12.4 mg per kilo.
Adulteration was alleged for the reason that said candy was coated?
with shellac containing arsenic, a poisonous substance deleterious?
and detrimental to health. Misbranding was alleged because the?
statement on the label, " London Creams," represented the product?
to be pure candy when, in fact, it was a mixture of candy with shel??
lac, a resinous, inedible substance containing arsenic, which substance?
was deleterious and detrimental to health, and said representation?
was, therefore, false and misleading and calculated to deceive and?
mislead the purchaser.
On September 26, 1911, the defendant pleaded guilty and was
fined $37.50, without costs.
