This product contained hairs resembling rodent hairs, and insect fragments.
On June 3, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon filed 
a libel against 20 cases of candy at Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 7, 1942, by Bishop 
& Co. from Los Angeles, Calif.; 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 contam- 
inated with filth. The article was labeled in part: "Giant Gum Drops * * * 
Bishop and Company, Inc., Division of National Biscuit Company Los Angeles, 
California."
On July 16,1942, the sole intervenor, having abandoned its claim, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
