10508. Adulteration of tomato pulp. U. S. * * * v. 200 Cases * * * 
of Tomato Pulp. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 8571.    S. No. E-899.)
On October 18. 1917, 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 se'zure and 
condemnation of 200 cases of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original un- 
broken packages at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the Booth Packing Co., Locust Point, Md., and transported from the State 
of Maryland into the State of New York, and was received in Brooklyn on or 
about October 5, 1917, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Diamond Brand Tomato Pulp 
*    *    *    D. D. Mallory & Co.,    *    *    *    Baltimore, Md., Distributors    *    *    *"
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On March 2, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the said product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
