condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 44020.    Sample No. 35489-D.)
This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining 
unsold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found to 
be insect-infested.
On October 3, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Hampshire, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 26 boxes of candy 
at Portsmouth, N. H.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
February 7, 1938, by the George Ziegler Co. from Milwaukee, Wis.; 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 November 10, 193S, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
