This product was infested with insects and was also rancid. 
On February 9, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Indiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five cartons of candy 
at Hammond, Ind., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce having been shipped by the Queen Anne Candy Co., of Hammond, 
Ind., to Hartford, Conn., and having been returned by the consignee to Queen 
Anne Candy Co., at Hammond, Ind., on or about December 28, 1937; and charg- 
ing adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On March 11, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
