1373. Adulteration of candy.    U.  S. v.  28 Boxes  of  Candy.    Default  decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 3141.    Sample No. 11132-E.)
This product contained insect fragments and rodent hairs.
On October 4, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Texas filed a libel against 28 boxes of candy at Houston, Tex., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 4, 
1940, by the Pravata Candy Co. from New Orleans, La.; and charging that it 
was adulterated.  The article was labeled in part: "1 Cent Mountains."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared, packed or held 
under insanitary conditions whereby it might have been contaminated with filth.
On December 2,1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
