This product contained filth resulting from worm infestation.
On January 26 and February 11, 1937, the United States attorney for the 
Eastern District of Louisiana, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 
850 cases of tomato paste at New Orleans, La., alleging that the product had 
been shipped in interstate commerce on or about December 3, 1936, by the 
Anaheim Canning Co. from Anaheim, Calif., and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: (Cans) 
"Kitty Brand Color Added Tomato Paste * * * Packed by Glorioso Canning 
Co. Anaheim, Calif."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On April 5, 1938, the Anaheim Canning Co. having appeared and answered, 
and having admitted the allegations of the libels, judgments of condemnation 
were entered, and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned 
that the good be separated from the bad under supervision of this Department, 
and that the bad be destroyed.
