4069. Adulteration of  candy.     U.   S.   v.  Lonnie  E.   Carter,   (Carter  Candy  Co.)
Plea of nolo contendere. Fine, $200. (F. D. C. No. 7662. ' Sample Nos. 
48570-E, 70673-B, 70679-E.)
On September 16,1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Georgia filed an information against Lonnie E. Carter, trading as Carter Candy 
Co. at Marietta, Ga., alleging shipment within the period from on or about March 
25 to on or about April 10, 1942, from the State of Georgia into the States of 
Alabama and Tennessee, of quantities of candy that was adulterated. The article 
was labeled: "Peaco Bars," "Cocoanut Bon Bons," "Cannon Balls (Asst.)," 
"Cocoanut Fudge Squares";  or "Marshmallow."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy substance by reason of the,presence therein of hair fragments 
resembling rodent hairs, and miscellaneous insect fragments, and in that it 
had been prepared under insanitary conditions whereby it might have become 
contaminated with filth.
On September 24, 1942, a plea of nolo contendere having been entered by 
the defendant, the court imposed a fine of $200.
