30285. Adulteration of candy.   U. S. v. Seven Cartons of Candy.   Default decree
of   condemnation  and   destruction.     (F.   &  D.   No.   43418.     Sample   No. 
38025-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 1, 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 seven 
cartons of candy at Biloxi, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
on or about February 9, 1938, by Bob's Candy & Peanut Co. from Albany, Ga.; 
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. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
