1628. Adulteration of tomato puree.     U. S. v. 158 Cases of Tomato Puree.    Con¬
sent decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 3719.    Sample 
No. 44636-E.)
This product contained excessive mold, indicating the presence of decomposed 
material.
On February 1, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado 
filed a libel against 158 cases of tomato puree at Denver, Colo., consigned by 
the Perry Canning Co., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about October 9, 1940, from Ogden, Utah; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed 
substance.   The article was labeled in part: "Gateway Brand Tomato Puree."
On March 3, 1941, the Perry Canning Co. having consented to the entry of 
a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
destroyed.
