623. Adulteration of   tomato   catsup.     U.   S.   v.   42   Cases   of   Catsup.     Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 1993. Sample No. 
6094-E.)
This product contained fragments of insect larvae and other filth resulting 
from insect infestation.
On June 4, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Wyoming 
filed a libel against 42 cases of catsup at Sheridan, Wyo., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 20, 1940, 
by Woods Cross Canning Co. from Clearfield, Utah; and charging that it was 
misbranded in that it was canned food and fell below the standard of quality 
and condition promulgated by the Secretary of Agriculture, since it consisted 
wholly or in part of a filthy substance. The article was labeled in part: "Clear- 
field Brand Catsup."
On June 28, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered 
finding the product adulterated in that it was composed in whole or in part 
of a filthy substance, namely, worm and insect fragments; and the product 
was ordered condemned and destroyed.
