condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43078.   Sample No. 23870-D.)
This product was moldy and insect-infested.
On July 16, 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 43 cartons of candy at 
Houston, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on various dates from July 23 to November 6, 1937, by Henry Heide, 
Inc., from New York, N. Y.; and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On September 10, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HAEET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
