1686. Adulteration of candy.     U.  S. v.  79 Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 2738.    Sample No. 24260-B.)
This product contained insect fragments and rodent hairs.
On September 3, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 79 boxes of candy at Camden, N. J., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 25, 1940, 
by the F. M. Paist Co. from Philadelphia, Pa.; and charging that it was adul- 
terated. It was labeled in part: (Boxes) "120 Count one cent Each Pin 
Wheels."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under insantiary 
conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On January 31, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
