7655. Adulteration of tomato pulp. IT. S. * * * v. 129 Cases of Tomato 
Pulp. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destrnc- 
tion.     (P. & D. No. 8914.     I. S. No. 6806-p.    S. No. C-863.)
On April 1, .1918, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Alabama, 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 129 cases of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages at Birmingham, Ala., alleging that the article had been 
shipped on or about March 14, 1918, by the Jacob Dold Packing Co., Atlanta, 
Ga., and transported from the State of Georgia into the State of Alabama, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part, " Diamond Brand Tomato Pulp."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal or 
vegetable substance.
On September 24, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, a 
decree of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MAEVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
