11566.?Adulteration  of tomato  catsup.     U.  S.  v.  22  Cases  and 4J   Cases   of

and destruction. (F. & D. Nos. 14891, 14S92. I. S. Nos. 7547-t, 7549-t.?
S. No. E-3328.)
On May 5 and 27, 1921, respectively, the United States attorney for the?
District of New Jersey, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district libels praying?
the seizure and condemnation of 26J cases of tomato catsup, remaining in the?
original unbroken packages at Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had?
been shipped by the Paul DeLaney Co., Inc., Brocton, N. Y., in part November?
12, 1920, and in part March 2, 1921, and transported from the State of New?
York into the State of New Jersey, and charging adulteration in violation of?
the Pood and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "American Maid?
Brand Tomato Catsup * * * Guaranteed by The Paul DeLaney Co. Inc.?
Brocton, N. Y."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it?
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable?
substance.
On June 25, 1923, the claim and answer previously entered by the Paul?
DeLaney Co., Inc., claimant, having been withdrawn, judgment of condemna??
tion and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the?
product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
