This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining 
unsold and in the original packages was, at the time of examination found 
to be insect-infested.
On or about August 5, 10, and 12, 1938, the United States attorneys for the 
Southern District of Texas and the Northern District of Alabama, filed in their 
respective district courts libels praying seizure and condemnation of 22 cartons 
of candy at Houston, Tex., and 55 cartons at Birmingham, Ala.; alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on various dates from 
September 20, 1937, to June 16, 1938, by Bobs Candy & Pecan Co. from Albany, 
Ga.; 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 and 13, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments of 
condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
