30282. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 11 Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43112.    Sample No. 37722-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 or about July 28, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern Dis- 
trict of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 11 cartons of 
candy at Gulfport, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
September 11, 1938, by the Curtiss Candy Co. from Chicago, Ill.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On February 23, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BEOWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
