decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 1788. 
Sample No. 13106-E.)
On April 11, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho filed 
a libel against 68 cases, each containing 6 cans, of tomato puree at Moscow, 
Idaho, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about October 17, 19S9, by the Royal Canning Corporation from Ogden, Utah; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a decomposed substance. The article was labeled in part: "Meco Brand 
Tomato Puree * * ¦ *• Packed for Mason Ehrman and Co., * * * Port- 
land, Oreg."
On May 6, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation and 
forfeiture was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
