District of Florida, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 18 boxes of candy 
at Panama City, and 9 boxes of candy at Quincy, Fla.; alleging that the article 
had been shipped on or about April 16 and May 21, 1938, by Bobs Candy & 
Pecan Co. from Albany, Ga.; 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 28, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
