This case involved tomato puree and tomato catsup which contained excessive 
mold.
On March 4, 1935, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 319 cases of tomato 
puree and 248 cases of tomato catsup at Madison, Wis., alleging that the 
articles had been shipped in Interstate commerce on or about December 5, 
1934, by the Cicero Canning Co., from Cicero, Ind., and charging adulteration 
In violation of the Food and Drugs Act
The articles were alleged to be adulterated in that they consisted wholly or 
in part of decomposed vegetable substances.
On April 9, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the products be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
