1365. Adulteration of candy.    IT.  S. v. 13 Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 2412.    Sample No. 14862-E.)
This product contained rodent hairs and insect fragments.
On July 24, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed a libel against 13 boxes of candy at Camden, N. J., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 22, 1940, by 
the Heidelberger Confectionery Co. from Philadelphia, Pa.; and charging that 
it was adulterated. The article was labeled in part: "216 Count Big 5 
Assortment 1 for 10."
The article 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 
conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On December 13, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
