Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. Nos. 43152, 
43153.    Sample Nos. 37624-D, 37625-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 or about August 1, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and-condemnation of 3% boxes 
and 18 cartons of candy at Tupelo, Miss.; alleging that the article had been 
shipped within the period from on or about November 2, 1937, to on or about 
May 9, 1938, by Mars, Inc., from Chicago, Ill.; and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Two 
Bits 50" or "Snickers 50."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On October 6, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
GROVER B. Hnx, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
