Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F.  & D. No. 43697. 
Sample No. 37994-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 October 20, 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 three punchboard 
deals of candy at Hattiesburg, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
on or about January 22, 1938, by Jacobs Candy Co. from New Orleans, La.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part "Pecan Heart."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a filthy vegetable substance.
On April 11, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
