ple No. 21619-E.)
This product was tomatoes with puree. The added puree was made from 
decomposed material, as evidenced by the presence of mold.
On January 8, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
New York filed a libel against 98 cases of canned tomatoes at Brooklyn, N. Y., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on November 
27, 1941, by the Manteca Canning Co. from Manteca, Calif.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed sub- 
stance. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Clara Brand Peeled Tomatoes 
With Puree * *-¦' * Packed in California for Sansone Food Products Co., 
Brooklyn, N. Y."
On February 11,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation, 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
