29991. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 11 Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43479.   Sample No. 38207-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 August 26, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 11 boxes of candy 
at Baton Rouge, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
October 6, 1937, by Salvo & Berdon Candy Co. from Natchez, Miss.; 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.
On November 6, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
