Examination showed that this product was contaminated with filth, such as

On April 10 and 23,1942, the United States attorneys for the Northern District 
of Alabama and the Eastern District of Tennessee filed libels against 46 boxes 
of candy at Florence, Ala., and 80 boxes of candy at Tracy City, Tenn., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 25
and April 10,1942, by Carter Candy Co. from Marietta, Ga. ;• and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance; 
and that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions whereby it might have 
become contaminated with filth. The article was labeled in part: "Cannon 
Balls," "Peaco Bars," "Club Stick Peanut," "Cocoanut Bon Bons [or "Fudge 
Squares"]," "C-C-C Suckers," "Long Boy Sticks," or "Marshmallow Toasties." 
On May 25 and June 12, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments of cofl- 
demnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
