2801. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. Walter E. Weeks  (Tas-T-Wut Co.).    Plea
of guilty. Fine, $50 and costs. (F. D. C. No. 2952. Sample Nos. 28120-B, 
28938-E, 28939-E.)
This product was contaminated with rodent hairs and insect fragments.
On May 9, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland filed
an information against Walter E. Weeks, trading as Tas-T-Nut Co. at Baltimore,
Md., alleging shipment on or about  September 11,  1940,  from the  State of
Maryland into the District of Columbia of quantities of candy that was adul-
' cerated.   It was labeled in part: "Vanilla [or "Chocolate"] Brazil Fudge."
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 October 3, 1941, the defendant having entered a plea of guilty, the court 
imposed a fine of $50 and costs.
