13937. Misbranding of Ping Pong sauce.     TJ. S. v. 33 Cases and 24 Cases of
Ping Pong Sauce. Default decrees of condemnation and forfei- 
ture. Product delivered to charitable institutions. (F. & D. Nos. 
19883, 19884.,    I. S. No. 21956-v.     S. No. C-4G74.)
On March 9, 1925, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Tennessee, 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 57 cases of Ping Pong sauce, at Memphis, Tenn., alleg- 
ing that the article had been shipped by the Brooks Tomato Products Co., 
from St. Louis, Mo., on or about November 21, 1924, and transported from the 
State of Missouri into the State of Tennessee, and charging misbranding in 
violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Bottle) 
" Continental Ping Pong  Sauce    *    *    *    Use  Same As Tomato  Catsup  On
Steaks, Game, Cold Meats And Sea Food Continental Packing Corp. Collins-
ville, Ill."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
was an imitation of another article, viz, tomato catsup.
On December 7, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that the product be delivered to charitable institutions.
It. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
