29846. Adulteration of candy.    V. S. v. 7 Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 43778.    Sample No. 45007-D.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was found 
to be insect-infested.
On October 26, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Florida, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of seven boxes of candy 
at Springfield, Fla.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
May 10, 1938, by Moray Candy Co. from Mobile, Ala.; and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On November 28, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
