2969. Adulteration of candy.    U. S. v. 21 Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 6292.    Sample No. 59919-E.)
This product contained rodent hairs and insect fragments.
On November 25, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Delaware 
filed a libel against 21 cartons of candy at Georgetown, Del., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 30, 1941, 
by Blue Ribbon Candy Co. from Baltimore, Md.; and charging 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 con- 
taminated with filth.   The article was labeled in part: (Carton) "Peanut Brittle."
On December 19, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
Nos. 2970 to 2972 report the seizure and disposition of candy that was 
insect-infested.
