On September 30, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 12 cartons of candy 
at Boston, Mass.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about October 
25, 1937, by D. Goldenberg, Inc., from Philadelphia, Pa.; and charging adultera- 
tion 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 February 13,1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
