30287. Adulteration of  candy.    V.  S. v.  15  Cartons of  Candy.    Default decree
' of   condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   No.   43361.     Sample   No. 
37639-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 15 car- 
tons of candy at Biloxi, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about June 16, 1988, by the Primrose Candy Co. from New Orleans, La.; 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.
