On June 1 and July 5, 1940, the United States attorneys for the Southern and 
the Western Districts of Texas filed libels against 52 cartons of candy at Hous- 
ton, and 76 boxes at San Antonio, Tex., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce by the Pelican State Candy Co. from New 
Orleans, La., on or about March 21 and June 18, 1940; and charging that it
was adulterated. It was labeled in part: "Mint American Beauty Sticks"; or 
"Brazil Nut Fudge."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary con- 
ditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On August 15 and October 14, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgments 
of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
