This product was contaminated with rodent hairs and insect fragments.
On December 9 and 11, 1940, the United States attorneys for the Western 
District of South Carolina and the Southern District of Florida filed libels against 
46 boxes of candy at Greenville, S'. C, and 50 boxes at Jacksonville, Fla., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about November 
1, 2, 5, and 22, 1940, by the Hodges Candy Co. from Milledgeville, Ga.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy substance, and in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions 
whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. It was labeled in part: 
"Variety Bars."
On January 8 and 11, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
