This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining un- 
sold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found to be 
insect-infested.
On August 31 and September 6, 1938, the United States attorney for the East- 
ern District of Louisiana, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 17 cartons 
of candy at Baton Rouge and 10 cartons of candy at Thibodaux, La.; alleging 
that the article had been shipped in part on or about September 28, 1937, and 
in part on or about March 28, 1938, by Blumenthal Bros, 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 8, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
