fault decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 4022.    Sam- 
ple No. 47415-E.)
This product was undergoing progressive decomposition and had an unpleas- 
ant metallic taste.
On March 25, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 149 cases of tomato juice at Chicago, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 3,
1940, by the Cedarburg Canneries, Inc., from Cedarbui g, Wis.; 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: (Cans) "Geoghegan's Delicious To- 
mato Juice."
On May 13, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
