30284. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. Five Cartons of Candy.    Default decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.      (F.   &   D.   No.   43417.      Sample   No. 
38024-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 September 2, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five 
cartons of candy at Biloxi, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
on or about May 25, 1938, by the Williamson 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.
HAEBY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
