This product was contaminated with rodent hairs and excreta, insect frag- 
ments, and other foreign material.
On March 28, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Iowa filed an information against the Ucanco Candy Co., Inc., Davenport, Iowa, 
alleging shipment by said defendant within the period from on or about March 
30 to May 17, 1940, from the State of Iowa into the States of Arkansas, Colorado, 
Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and North Carolina, of candies that 
were adulterated. They were labeled in part, variously: "OF Timer Milk Nut 
Bar [or "Roll"] 5f; "Blu Boy * * * 54"; "Nut Balls"; "Clusters" ; "Cannon 
Ball 54"; "Ucanco's Nut Balls"; "Extra Special 54 * * * 01' Timer Loaf";' 
"It's A Darb"; "150 Assorted Caramels."
The article 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 and packed under 
insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On March 31, 1941, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $10 on each count, totaling $180, together with 
costs.
