2535. Adulteration of candy.     U.  S.  v.   147 Packages  and  178  Boxes  of Candy
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 4964. 
Sample Nos. 57622-E to 57627-E, inel.)
On or about June 20, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Missouri filed a libel against 147 packages and 178 boxes of candy at Maiden, 
Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the 
period from, on or about April 22 to May 15,1941, by Tyler Candy Co. from Tyler, 
Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated. It was labeled in part: (Boxes) 
"Tyler Maid Penny Stick" or "Tyler Chicken Bone."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary condi- 
tions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On October 18, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
