2804. Adulteration of candy.     U. S. v. 11 Boxes, 2 Boxes, and 3 Boxes of Candy.
Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction,     (F.   D.   C.   No.   5264. 
Sample Nos. 59530-E, 59531-E, 59532-E.)
On August 4, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia filed 
a libel against 16 boxes of candy at Washington, D. C, alleging that the article 
was in interstate commerce in the District of Columbia in possession of Dixie 
Sweets; and charging that it was 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. Portions of 
the article were labeled "Dixie Chow" or "Dixie Peanut Bars." The remainder, 
consisting of marshmallow bars, was unlabeled.
On August 27, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
