2468. Adulteration of tomato paste.   IT. S. v. 40 Cases of Tomato Paste.   Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 4720-B. Sample 
No. 22535-E.)
Examination of this product showed that it contained worm and insect 
fragments. 
On May 17, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Connecticut 
filed a libel against 40 cases, each containing 100 6-ounce cans, of tomato paste 
at New Haven, Conn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about March 28, 1941, by the Hollister Canning Co. from 
Oakland, Calif.; and charging that it was adulterated. The article was 
labeled in part: "San Benito Brand Naples Style Tomato Paste."
On September 23, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
