29534. Adulteration of candy.     V. S. v. 9 Cartons of Candy.     Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 43450.    Sample No. 23691-D.)
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 August 24, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Alabama, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of nine cartons of candy 
at Mobile, Ala.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about January 
29, 1938, by Peter Paul, Inc., from New Orleans, La.; and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy vegetable substance.
On September 30, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
