5441. Adulteration of candy.   U. S. v. 10 Cartons of Candy.   Decree of condemna¬
tion; and destruction.    (F. D: <3. No. 10514.    Sample No. 46188-F.) ;
On August 30, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia 
filed a libel against 10 cartons of candy at Washington, D. C>; alleging that the 
article had been shipped on or about August 4, 1943, from Baltimore, Md., by 
the Virginia Peanut Co.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance by reason of the presence therein 
of larvae, larva fragments, and insect fragments, and in that it had been pre- 
pared under insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated 
with filth. The article was labeled in part: (Carton) "Assorted Cocoanut 
Bonbons * * * Manufactured by General Candy Company 515 W. Lombard 
St Baltimore, Md."
On October 7, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
