This product contained rodent hairs and filth.
On June 7, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 14 boxes of candy at Jersey City, 
N. J.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about May 26, 1938, by Shapiro Candy Manufacturing Co., Inc., from Brooklyn, 
N. Y.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
article was labeled in part: "Shapiro Candy Mfg. Co., Inc., Brooklyn, N. Y."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On August 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
