934. -Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 43 Cases of Candy.    Default decree of con- 
demnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 2301.    Sample Nos. 5496-E, 5497-E.)
Samples taken from both of these lots of candy were found to contain rodent 
hairs, and those taken from one lot were also found to contain insect fragments.
On June 28, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Kentucky filed a libel against 43 cases of candy at Louisville, Ky., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the period 
from on or about April 19 to on or about June 16, 1940, by the Paris Candy 
Co. from Paris, Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated. It was labeled in 
part: "Dixie-Twist Lemon Candy"; or "Wintergreen Candy."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it had been prepared 
under insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with 
filth; and in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance.
On October 15, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered- destroyed.
