29682. Adulteration of candy.     U.  S. v.  26  Cartons  of Candy.    Default decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.      (F.   &   D.   No.   43570.     Sample   No. 
38223-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 September 1, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 26 cartons of candy 
at Lockport, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about April 6, 1938, by Quaker City Chocolate & Confectionery 
Co., Inc., from Philadelphia, Pa.; 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 November 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
