1371. Adulteration of candy.    TJ.  S. v. 14  Cases of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 2299.    Sample Nos. 15609-E, 
15610-E.)
This product contained rodent hairs and insect fragments.
On June 29, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Arkansas filed a libel against 14 cases of candy at Brinkley, Ark. (consigned by 
the Oliver-Finnie Co.), alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce within the period from on or about April 15 to June 3, 1940, from 
Memphis, Tenn.; and charging that it was adulterated. It was labeled in 
part: "Silver Moon Candies."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained rodent hairs 
and insect fragments; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary condi- 
tions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On October 22, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
