fault decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 7402:    Sam- 
ple No. 92317-E.)
This product contained wood slivers.
On April 30,1942, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona filed a 
libel against 40 cases of marsnmallows at Phoenix, Ariz., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 12 and 18, 
1942, by Anthony Macaroni & Cracker Co. from Los Angeles, Calif.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it was a confectionery and contained a nonnutritive 
substance, wood slivers, and in that it had been prepared under insanitary condi- 
tions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. It was labeled in 
part: "Party Brand 'Softest' Marshmallow."
On July 16, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
