condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43704.    Sample No. 22351-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 September 8, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one carton of candy 
at Chicago, Ill.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about August 
17, 1938, by the Parkersburg Candy Co. from Parkersburg, W. Va.; and charg- 
ing 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 29, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
