24353. Adulteration of tomato trimmings. TJ. S. -v. Uddo-Taormina Cor- 
poration and Angelo Glorioso, trading as the Florida Canning 
Co. Pleas of nolo contendere. Fines, $400. (F. & D. no. 30233. 
Sample no. 7122-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of canned tomato trimmings 
which were found to be in part decomposed and to contain maggots.
On September 14, 1933, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Uddo-Taormina Corporation and An- 
gelo Glorioso, of New Orleans, La., said corporation and individual trading as 
the Florida Canning Co., at Miami, Fla., alleging shipment by said defendants in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act on or about May 17, 1932, from the State 
of Florida into the State of Louisiana, of a quantity of tomato trimmings 
which were adulterated.   The article was billed as tomato pulp.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
filthy and decomposed vegetable substance; and in that it consisted in part 
of a filthy animal substance, namely, maggots.
On January 10, 1935, the defendants entered pleas of nolo contendere to the 
information, and the court imposed fines in the total amount of $400.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
