29845. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 46 Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 43801.    Sample No. 23826-D.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was found to 
be insect-infested.
On September 8, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 46 cartons of candy 
at Fort Worth, Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped within the 
period from on or about June 25 to on or about August 4, 1937, by Fair Play
Caramels, Inc., from Johnson City, N. Y.; and charging adulteration in vio- 
lation 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 November 22, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
