2810. (Supplement to Notice of Judgment No. 1437.) Adulteration of tomato pulp. U. S. v. 100?
Cases of Tomato Pulp. Decree of Condemnation by default. Product ordered?
destroyed.   (F. & D. No. 3119.   S. No. 1136.)
On October 31, 1911, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New?
York, 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 100 cases, each containing four dozen cans of ^tomato pulp, remaining unsold in?
the original unbroken packages and in the possession of Marwell Bros., Brooklyn,?
N. Y., alleging that the product had been shipped on or about September 22, 1911,?
by the Torsch Packing Co., Milford, Del., and transported from the State of Delaware?
into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act. The product was labeled: (On the shipping cases) "Peerless Brand,?
Packed by Torsch Packing Co., Baltimore, Md., and Milford, Del." (On cans)?
"Peerless Brand, for Soup, Made from Tomatoes and Tomato Trimmings, Tomato?
Pulp, Packed by Torsch Packing Co."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that the cans?
contained an article of food, to wit, tomato pulp, which, being vegetable substance,?
was in whole or in part filthy and decomposed.
On February 17, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was ordered by the court that the?
product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
