condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 43695.    Sample No. 37988-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 October 20, 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 23 boxes of 
candy at Hattiesburg, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about March 12, 1938, by Williamson Candy Co. from Chicago, Ill.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Oh Henry ! -10."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On April 11, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
