On October 1 and 3, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Colum- 
bia filed libels against five cartons of Vanilla Brazil Fudge and three cartons of 
Chocolate Brazil Fudge at Washington, D. C, alleging that the articles had 
been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 11, 1940, by the 
Tas-T-Nut Co. from Baltimore, Md.; and charging that they were adulterated. 
They were labeled in part: "Vanilla [or "Chocolate"] Brazil Fudge."
The articles were alleged to be adulterated in that they consisted in whole or 
in part of filthy substances; and in that they had been prepared under insanitary 
conditions whereby they might have become contaminated with filth.
On October 25, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation 
were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
