21870. Adulteration of tomato pulp. IT. S. v. 800 and 921 Cans of Tomato 
Pulp. Decrees of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (If. 
& D. nos. 28369, 28373.    Sample nos. 7123-A, 7125-A.)
These cases involved interstate shipments of tomato pulp that was found to 
contain maggots.
On June 1, and June 4, 1932, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Louisiana, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 1,721 cases of 
tomato pulp at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce by J. J. Favaloro, from Miami, Fla., in part on or about 
May 16, 1932, and in part on or about May 20, 1932, and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libels that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On January 25, 1934, the claims and answers filed by F. G. Favaloro Sons, 
Inc., the sole intervener, having been withdrawn, judgments of condemnation 
and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product 
be destroyed by the United States marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
