Tomato Pulp. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and?
destruction.    (F. & D. No. 8532.    I. S. No. 2334-p.    S. No. E-898.)
On October 15, 1917, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Pennsylvania, 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 200 cases, each containing 4 dozen cans of tomato pulp, con??
signed by Roberts Bros., Baltimore, Md., remaining unsold in the original?
packages at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on or?
about September 11, 1917, and transported from the State of Maryland into?
the State of Pennsylvania, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, " Big R Brand Tomato Pulp?
*    *    *   Roberts Bros.    *    *    *   Baltimore, Md."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On November 5, 1917, 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.
