On September 4, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona 
filed a libel against ElO cases, each containing 24 cans, of tomatoes at 
Phoenix, Ariz., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about February 22, 1940, by Santa Anita Food Corporation from 
Anaheim, Calif.; 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) "Gala Brand Tomatoes With Puree From Trimmings Net Contents 1 Lb. 
12 0zs."
On May 29,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
