26929. Adulteration of  tomato   catsup.    U.   S.  v.  65   Cans  of Tomato  Catsup.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 36274. 
Sample no. 26385-B.)
This product contained filth resulting from worm infestation.
On September 9, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 65 cases of tomato catsup at 
Portland, Oreg., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about July 25, 1935, by Libby, McNeill & Libby from Oakland, Calif., and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: "Silver Dale Brand Tomato Catsup * * * Packed 
*   *    *   for Emery Food Co., Chicago."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy vegetable substance.
On March 10, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. B. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
