Kentucky filed libels against 27 32-pound cases and 22 boxes of candy,at Lex* 
ington, and 46 32-pound cases of candy at West Liberty, Ky., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about November 
20 and December 6, 1941, by Lovelace Candy Go. from Nashville, Tenn.; 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. The article was labeled 
in part: "Sweet Annie Pure Stick Candy," or "Dixie Dan Stick Mint."
On February 18, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
