On December 12, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Indiana filed a libel against 24 cartons of candy at Jeffersonville, Ind., alleg- 
ing that the article had been shipped on or about October 10, 1940, by N. A. 
Kroeger & Co. from Baltimore, Md.; and charging that it was adulterated in 
that it consisted wholly 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 labeled variously in part: "Subway Bars," "Orange 
& Lemon Slices," or "Kroeger's Jelly Cuts 240."
On February 12, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
