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

the Eastern District of Louisiana, Southern District of Mississippi, Northern 
District of Florida, Northern District of Georgia, and the Southern District 
Of Alabama, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in their re- 
spective district courts libels praying seizure and condemnation of a total of 261 
cartons of candy in various lots at New Orleans, Covington, Hammond, Slidell,
and Baton Rouge, La., Hattiesburg, Miss., Marianna, Fla., Marietta, Ga., and 
Mobile, Ala.; alleging that the article had been shipped within the period from 
August 18, 1937, to July 19, 1938, by Mars, Inc., in part from Chicago, Ill., and 
in part from Galewood, pi.; 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.
Between October 10 and December 8, 1938, no claimant having appeared, 
judgments of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
