5665. Adulteration of tomato catsup. U. S. * * * v. 8 Barrels of Tomato 
Catsup. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruc- 
tion.     (F. & D. No. 7595.    I. S. No. 1003-m.    S. No. E-675.)
On July 28, 1916, 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 condem- 
nation of 8 barrels of tomato catsup, remaining unsold in the original unbroken 
packages at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about July 18, 1916, by the Nonpareil Pickle Works, Jersey City, N. J., and 
transported from the State of New Jersey into the State of New York, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
sisted wholly and in part of a decomposed and putrid and filthy vegetable sub- 
stance.
On September 27, 1916, 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.
C. F. MAEVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
