ADULTERATION OF TOMATO PULP.
On November 9, 1911, the United States Attorney for the Southern?
District of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri??
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said?
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 300 cases of?
tomato pulp remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and?
in possession of R. C. Williams & Co., 56 Hudson Street, New York,?
N. Y., alleging that the product had been shipped on or about Sep??
tember 22, 1911, by B. S. Ayars & Sons Co., Bridgeton, N. J., and?
transported from the State of New Jersey into the State of New?
York, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act. The product was labeled: " Emerson Brand Tomato Pulp for?
Soup.    Packed by B. S. Ayars & Sons Company, Bridgeton, N. J."
Adulteration was alleged in the libel for the reason that the product?
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable?
substance.
On March 21, 1912, the costs and the marshal's fees having been?
paid, R. C. Williams & Co., claimants, were permitted to withdraw?
their claim and answer, and judgment of condemnation and forfeit??
ure was entered. It was further ordered that, the product should be?
destroyed by the United States marshal.
