447G. Adulteration of tomato pulp. V. S. v. 100 Cases of Canned Tomata?

tion.    <F. & D. No. 6556.    I. S. No. 3152-k.    S. No. E-282.)
On May 24, 1915, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Virginia, 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 10-ounce retail packages,?
of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Rich??
mond, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped, on or about August 11,?
1914, and transported from the State of Maryland into the State'of Virginia,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The retail?
packages or cans were labeled: "Calhoun Brand Tomato Pulp Made from?
Tomato Pulp and Trimmings Calhoun Brand (Monogram) H. P. Co. Hartlove?
Packing Co., Baltimore, Md.   Contents weigh 10 oz."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted, in whole or in part, of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable?
substance.?
On October 4, 1915, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg-?
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
