29593. Adulteration of candy.    TJ. S. v. 19 Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43489.    Sample No. 38109-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 26, 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 19 cartons of candy 
at Mobile, Ala.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about April 15, 
1938, by Vita Bran Corporation from Bronx, N. Y.; and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it was composed wholly or in part of 
a filthy vegetable substance.
On October 7, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
