On September 16, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Georgia filed an information against the MeCord-Stewart Co., a corporation, 
Atlanta, Ga., alleging shipment in the period from on or about February 5 to 
on or about April 8* 1942, from the State of Georgia into the States of South 
Carolina and Alabama of quantities of candy which was adulterated. The 
article was labeled in part: "Farm Bell Stick Candy."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or iupart of a 
filthy substance, and in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions 
whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On September 25,1942, a plea of nolo contendere having been entered on behalf 
of the defendant, the court imposed a fine of $200.
