Samples of this product were found to contain insect fragments and other extraneous matter. On November 15, 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 an information against Ambrosia Candy Co., a corporation, Chicago, 111.; alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, in part on or about March 1, 1938, and in part on or about April 21, 1938, from the State of Illinois into the States of Wisconsin and Indiana, respectively, of quantities of candy which was adulterated. It was labeled in part: "Peggy Page Candies" or "Easter Greetings Peggy Page Chicago." The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole and in part of a filthy vegetable substance. On January 31, 1939, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the defendant, the court imposed a fine of $300 and costs. HABBY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
