4567. Adulteration of tomato pulp. U. S. * * * v. 3,000 * * * Cans of?

struction.     (P. & D. No. 6843.    I. S. No. 11505-1.    S. No. C-312.)
On September 1, 1915, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 3,000 five-gallon cans of [tomato] pulp, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at Gibson City, 111., alleging that the article had?
been shipped, on or about March 16, 1915, and transported from the State of?
Indiana into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation of the?
Pood and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance and?
was wholly unfit for use as a food.?
On October 6, 1915, 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.
?CABL VEOOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
