On July 20, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 32 cartons of candy 
at Houston, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about May 28, 1938, by Ucanco Candy Co. from Davenport, Iowa; 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or 
in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On September 2, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condenmna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
