This product contained excessive mold, indicating the presence of decomposed 
material.
On October 2, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Wisconsin filed a libel against 26 cases of tomato catsup at Menomonie, Wis., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 30, 1939, by the Frazier Packing Corporation from Elwood, Ind.; 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: (Bottles) "Frazier's 
Tomato Catsup."
On November 9,1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
