On or about April 3,1918, the United States attorney for tlie Southern District?
of 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 400 cases, each containing 4S cans of tomato pulp, consigned?
by the Southern Packing Co., Baltimore, Md., remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Tampa, Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped?
on or about November 35, 3917, and transported from the State of Maryland?
into the State of Florida, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act.    The article was labeled in part, " Merit Brand Tomato Pulp."
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.
