This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and. remaining 
unsold and in the original package was, at the time of examination, found to be 
insect-infested, stale, and to have a musty or rancid order.
On September 10, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of two cases of 
candy at Philadelphia, Pa., consigned by West Bros., Miami, Fla.; alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about Septem- 
ber 1, 1938, by West Bros, from Miami, Fla.; 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 October 3, 1938 no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
