29241. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 6 Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation   and    destruction.     (F.    &   D.    No.    42454.    Sample    No. 
14459-D.)
This product consisted of candy filled with ground peanuts. Examination 
showed that the filling was insect-infested.
On June 3, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Rhode Island, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of six boxes of 'candy at Providence,' 
R. I.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about January 30, 1938, by the M. G. Shaghalian Co., from Providence, R. I., to 
Fall River, Mass., and had been returned to Providence, R. I., by the consignee 
on or about May 17,1938: and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Peach Buds Made by M. G. 
Shaghalian Co., Providence, R. I."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On June 21, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed,
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
