On January 9, 1918, the United States attorney for the District of Southern?
Florida, 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 1,000 cases, each containing 48 cans, of tomato pulp, consigned?
by the Hartlove Packing Co., Baltimore, Md., remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Tampa, Pla., alleging that the article had been shipped?
on or about September 27, 1917, and transported from the State of Maryland?
into the State of Florida, charging adulteration in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, " Calhoun Brand Tomato Pulp,?
Packed by Hartlove Packing Co., 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 January 10, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, it was?
ordered by the court that the product should be destroyed by the United States?
marshal.
