29848. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 26 Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43710.    Sample No. 13623-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 sour and decomposed.
On September 3, 1938, the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 26 boxes of candy 
at Moultrie, Ga.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about May 12, 
1938, by York Cone Co. from York, Pa.; and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On November 21, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABET L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
