29684. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 12 Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 43528.    Sample No. 38087-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 81, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 12 cartons of 
candy at Baton Rouge, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about January 5, 1938, by Fenn Bros., Inc., from Sioux Falls, S. Dak.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On November 8, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
