30302. Adulteration of candy.    IT. S. v. 15 Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43843.    Sample No. 38253-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 September 10, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 15 boxes of candy at 
Port Arthur, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
January 31, 1938, by the Schall Candy Co. from Clinton, Iowa; 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 October 1, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
