decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 1176. 
Sample No. 72930-D.)
This product was found to contain worm and insect fragments. 
On December 12, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona 
filed a libel against 10 cases, each containing 6 cans, of tomato paste at Phoenix, 
Ariz., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about November 30, 1939, by the Pacific Pool Car Co. from Oakland, Calif.; and 
* charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy substance.   It was labeled in part:  "Madonna Fancy Pure Tomato Paste
* *   *   Packed by Riverbank Canning Company, Riverbank, Calif."
On April 24, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation and 
forfeiture was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
