2521. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 1 Barrel, 31 Cases, and 11 Cases of Candy.
Default decree of destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 4062.    Sample Nos. 50934-E to 
50936-E, incl.) 
On March 31, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
West Virginia filed a libel against 1 barrel and 42 cases of candy at Martins- 
burg, W. Va., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about December 5, 
1940, and February 20, 1941, by John H. Dockman & Son, Inc., from Baltimore, 
Md.; and charging that it was adulterated. It was labeled in part: (Barrel) 
"200 Lbs. Net * * * Jelly Eggs"; (31 cases) "Jelly Eggs Net When Packed 
25 Lbs."; and (11 cases) "15 Lbs. Grocery Mixed."
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 23, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered 
ordering that the product be destroyed.
