30519. Adulteration of candy.    V. S. v. Eight Cartons of Candy.    Default decree
of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 43665. Sample No. 
No. 37978-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold 
and in the original packages. At the time of examination it 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 eight cartons of 
candy at Hattiesburg, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about April 28, 1938, by Hollywood Candy Co. from Minneapolis, Minn.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The candy was 
labeled in part "3 Pigs."
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.
