ADULTERATION OF TOMATO PULP.
On January 4, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Western?
District of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of?
Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said?
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 140 cases, each?
containing a number of retail packages of tomato pulp, remaining?
unsold and in the original unbroken packages and in possession of?
Thompson Ritchie Grocer Co., Alexandria, La., alleging that the?
product had been transported from the State of Maryland into the?
State of Louisiana, date of shipment not shown, arid charging?
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product?
was labeled: "Nigger Head Brand Tomato Pulp, made from To??
matoes and Tomato trimmings. Packed by Aughinburgh Canning?

vegetable substance.
On May 6, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the property,?
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was?
further ordered that the product should be destroyed by the United?
States marshal.
