condemnation and destruction.    (F. A D. No. 43Ill.    Sample No. 37721-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 or about August 22, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 14 cartons 
of candy at Gulfport, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about February 10, 1938, by Mars., Inc., from Chicago, Ill.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On February 23, i939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
