3406. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 9  Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (P. D. C. No. 6240.    Sample No. 59075-E.)
Examination showed that this product contained rodent hairs.
On November 18, 1941, the United States attorney for the Middle District 
of Pennsylvania filed a libel against 9 12-pound cartons of candy at York, Pa., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
October 27, 1941, by the Blue Ribbon Candy Co. from Baltimore, Md.; 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. The article was labeled 
in part: "Peanut Brittle."
On April 8, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
