2993. Adulteration of tomato pulp.   TJ. S. v. 720 Cans of Tomato Pulp.   Default decree of?
condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.   (F. & D. No. 4873.   S. No. 1611.)
On December 10,1912, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 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 720 5-gallon?
cans of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and in?
possession of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Co., at Denver, Colo., alleging that?
the product had been shipped from the State of Missouri into the State of Colorado,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product bore?
no label. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in whole or in part of filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable matter, and said?
product, by reason of said filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable matter, was?
wholly unfit for use and consumption as food or for the manufacture of food products.
On January 10, 1913, no claimant having appeared for the product, 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.
B. T. GALLOWAY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March SO, 1914.
