On February 5, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Michigan, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 700 cases of tomato 
paste at Detroit, Mich., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about November 9, 1936, by Calliguria Food Products 
Corporation from Long Beach, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Vulcania Brand 
California Tomato Paste * * * Distributed by Calliguria Food Product 
Corp. Los Angeles, Calif."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On August 9, 1937, the Italian Food Products, Inc., having appeared as 
claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment was entered 
sustaining the said allegations, and ordering that the product be released under 
bond conditioned that it should not be sold or disposed of contrary to the 
provisions of the Food and Drugs Act.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
