On November 3, 1937, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 118 cases of 
tomato catsup at Dubois, Pa., alleging that the product had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about July 13 and September 23, 1937, by the Farm 
King Packing Corporation from Fredonia, N. YM and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product was labeled in part: 
"Sumore Brand Tomato Catsup Packed by Farm King Packing Co., Inc. * * * 
Fredonia, N. Y."
The product was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On March 31, 1938, a default decree of condemnation, with order of destruc- 
tion, was entered.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
