On or about June 30, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern Dis- 
trict of Mississippi filed libels against 65 boxes of candy at Biloxi, Miss., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
April 14, May 13, and June 3, 1941, by McGraw Candy Co. from Mobile, Ala.; 
and charging that it was adulterated. It was labeled in part: "72 Cocoanut 
Blocks," "Azalea Brand Peanut Bars," "72 Peanut Blocks," or "Azalea Brand 
Candy Mint Stick."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly 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.
On February 18, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
