2297. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 152 Boxes and 47 Boxes of Candy.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 5412.    Sample Nos. 
48078-E, 48079-E.).
This product contained rodent hair fragments, insect fragments, and miscel- 
laneous dirt.
On August 21, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Georgia filed a libel against 199 boxes of candy at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 1, 1941, 
by the Specialty Candy Co. from Baltimore, Md.; and charging that it was 
adulterated. The article was labeled in part: (Boxes) "80 Count Hilltopper 
Delicious Pops   *   *   *   Assorted Cocoanut [or "Cherry"]."
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 September 16,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
