1381. Adulteration and misbranding of candy. U. S. v. 34 Cases and 20 Cases of Candy. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 3129. Sample Nos. 99024-E, 99025-E, 99026-E.) All three lots of this product contained rodent hairs and one lot also contained insect fragments. One lot was short weight. On October 3, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi filed a libel against 54 cases of candy at Cleveland, Miss., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 27 and September 10, 1940, by the American Oandy Manufacturing Co. from Selma, Ala.; and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. 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 and packed under in- sanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. One lot was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Net Weight 5 Oz." borne on the label, was false and misleading since it was incorrect. The said lot was alleged to be misbranded further in that it was in package form and did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents since the label declared a net weight of 5 ounces; whereas the actual weight of the package was less than 5 ounces. On November 14, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
