22278. Adulteration of confectionery. IT. S. v. 37 Boxes of Confectionery. 
Default   decree  of  condemnation.     Product   destroyed.     (F.   &  D.
no. 32011.    Sample no. 50544-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of confectionery which contained 
alcohol.
On February 20, 1934, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 37 boxes of confectionery at 
Cleveland, Ohio, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about January 25,1934, by H. L. Caplan & Co., Inc., from Baltimore, 
Md., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated under the provi- 
sions of the law relating to confectionery, in that it contained spirituous liquor.
On April 21, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
was entered finding the product adulterated and subject to condemnation, and 
it was ordered by the court that it be disposed of under such terms and 
conditions as were not in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product 
was destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
