940. Adulteration and misbranding of candy.    U. S. v. 4 Cases and 10 Cases of
Candy.    Default decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.
2559.    Sample Nos. 209O3-E, 20904-E.)
Samples of this product were found to contain rodent hairs and insect frag- 
ments. Moreover, its labeling failed to bear the name of each of the ingredients 
from which it was made.
On August 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
North Carolina filed a libel against 14 cases of candy labeled "Peanut Squares" 
at Asheville, N. C, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about July 2 and July 30, 1940, by the McAfee Candy Co. 
from Macon, Ga.; and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary condi- 
tions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it was fabricated from two or more 
ingredients and its label did not bear the common or usual name of each such 
ingredient.
On September 18, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
