422. Adulteration of canned pumpkin.     U.  S. v. 15 Cases of Canned Pumpkin.
Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.      (F.   D.   C.   No.   806. 
Sample No. 58079-D.)
This product was in interstate commerce at the time of examination, and 
was found to be undergoing chemical decomposition at that time.
On October 25, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona 
filed a libel against 15 cases of canned pumpkin at Nogales, Ariz., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 31, 
1935, from Vinton, Iowa, by Iowa Canning Co.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed substance. 
The article was labeled in part: (Cans) "Fernbrook Brand Pumpkin * * * 
Sac City Pumpkin Packed by Sac City Canning Co., Sac City and Storm Lake, 
Iowa."
On February 5, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
