On March 27,1942, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado filed 
a libel against 494 cases of tomato catsup (consigned by A. M. Beebe Co., Inc.,) 
at Denver, Colo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce
on or about November 21, 1941, from Hay ward, 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: "Dreher's Tomato Catsup 12 Oz. Avoir. Paeked 
For The Dreher Pickle'Co.   Denver Colorado."
On August 5, 1942, the California Conserving Co., Inc., San Francisco, Calif., 
claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be released under bond condi- 
tioned that the unfit portion be segregated and destroyed under the supervision 
of the Food and Drug Administration.
