4083. Adulteration of candy.    U.  S. v. 7 Cases and 9 Cases of Candy.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 7458. Sample Nos. 
93449-E, 93450-E.)
On May 6,1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of Washing- 
ton filed a libel against 7 cases, each containing 12 cans, of candy and 9 cases, each 
containing 24 cans, of candy at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been
shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 8,1942, by O'Brien's, Ina, from 
San Jose, Calif.; 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: (Cans) "O'Brien's Almond Butter Crunch," or "Peanut Crisp 
Candies."
On October 30, 1942, the shipper having intervened but subsequently having 
withdrawn its appearance, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered destroyed.
