This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining un- 
sold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found to be 
insect-infested.
On September 1 and 12, 1938, the United States attorneys for the Eastern 
District of Louisiana and the Northern District of Georgia, acting upon re- 
ports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in their respective district courts 
libels praying seizure and condemnation of 23 cartons of candy at Lockport, 
La., and 22 boxes of candy at Marietta, Ga.; alleging that the article had been 
shipped within the period from on or about January 24, 1988, to on or about 
March 2, 1938, by Magic City Candy Co. from Birmingham, Ala.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On October 10 and November 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments 
of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
