Southern District of Texas, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agricul- 
ture, filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 31 
cartons of candy at Houston, Tex.; alleging that the articles had been shipped 
in interstate commerce in part on or about October 20 and in part on or about
November 24, 1937, by Rockwood & Co. from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part: "Rockwood & Co., Brooklyn, N. Y."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
