1382. Adulteration  and misbranding of  candy.    U.   S.  v. 30  Boxes  of  Candy.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 3346. 
Sample No. 37425-E.)
This product contained rodent hairs and insect fragments. It was also short 
weight.
On November 11, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
South Carolina filed a libel against 30 boxes of candy at Gaffney, S. C, alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 23, 
1940, by McAfee Candy Co. from Macon, Ga.; and charging that it was adulterated 
and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "72—10 Big Apple Suckers 
*    *    *    Net Wt. Sy2 Lbs."
It 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.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Net Wt. 3% 
Lbs." was false and misleading since it was incorrect; and in that it was in 
package form and did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of the 
contents. 
On December 13,1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
