3556. Adulteration of tomato paste.    IT. S. v. 185 Gases of Tomato Paste.    Por¬
tion of product condemned and ordered destroyed. Remainder ordered 
released.    (F. D. C. No. 6937.   Sample No. 81548-E.)
On February 27, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado 
filed a libel against 185 cases each containing 100 6-ounce cans of tomato paste 
at Denver, Colo., which had been consigned by Italian Food Products Co., Inc., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
October 28 and November 18, 1941, from Long Beach, 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: "Campania Brand * * * Tomato 
Paste."
On June 1, 1942, the West Coast Packing Corporation, claimant, having admit- 
ted that a portion of the article (37 cases) was adulterated and the court having 
found that the said 37 cases were adulterated but that the allegations of the libel 
had not been sustained with respect to the remainder, judgment was entered 
condemning and ordering destruction of the former portion and ordering release 
of the latter. ,
