29596. Adulteration of  candy.     U.   S.   v.  11  Cartons  of  Coconut   Marshmallow
Candy.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No.
43488.    Sample No. 38103-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 rancid and 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 11 cartons of 
candy at Mobile, Ala.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about April 25, 1938, by York Cone Co. from York, Pa.; and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article 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.
