1862. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 19, 46, 8, and IS Boxes of Candy.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 3521.    Sample Nos. 
40086-E, 40087-E, 40089-E, 40091-E.)
This product contained rodent hairs and a portion also contained insect 
fragments.
On December 14, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 86 boxes of candy at Trenton, N. J., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the period from 
on or about September 9 to on or about October 9, 1940, by the Heidelberger 
Confectionery Co., Inc., from Philadelphia, Pa.; and charging that it was 
adulterated. The article was labeled variously: "Big Six Chocolate Assort- 
ment," "Chocolate Peppermints," "Chocolate Bermudas," or "Sunnies."
The article 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.
On February 28, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
