29982. Adulteration of candy.   U. S. v. 6 Boxes of Candy.   Default decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.      (F. & D. No. 43774.   Sample No. 25117-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 19, 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 six boxes of candy 
at Tallahassee, Fla.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
April 22, 1938, by L. S. Heath & Sons from Robinson, Ill.; and charging adul- 
teration 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.
HABBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
