29378. Adulteration of candy.    TJ. S. v. 10 Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43061.   Sample No. 23872-D.)
This product was insect-infested.
On July 13, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 10 cartons of candy 
at Houston, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about December 1, 1937, by Newton Products Co. from Cincin- 
nati, Ohio; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.   The article was labeled in part: '"Newton Products Co. Cincinnati, Ohio."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy vegetable substance.
On September 2, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
denmation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HAEET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
