Default decrees of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. Nos. 43692, 
43719.    Sample Nos. 37984-D, 37987-D.)
This product which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was found to 
be insect-infested.
On October 20, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Mississippi, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 11 cartons and 23 boxes 
of candy at Hattiesburg, Miss.; alleging that the article had been shipped by 
Brock Candy Co. from Chattanooga, Tenn., the former on or about October 1, 
1937, and the latter on or about July 22, 1938; and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Brock's 
Bazooka" or "10 Toasted Candy Wafers."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a filthy vegetable substance.
On April 11, 1989, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
