NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 3357.
(Given pursuant to section  4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF TOMATO CATSUP.
On October 26, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Southern 
District of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agricul- 
ture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district 
a libel for the seizure and condemnation of nine barrels of tomato 
catsup remaining unsold in the original unbroken package and in 
the possession of the Empire Vinegar & Catsup Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, 
alleging that the product had been shipped from the State of In- 
diana into the State of Ohio and charging adulteration, in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act. The product was labeled: "(Blur) of 
1% Benzoate of Soda Used—Tomato Catsup.Mfd. by Indiana 
Tomato Seed Co., Nabb, Ind." Adulteration of the product was 
alleged in the libel for the reason that it consisted of a filthy and de- 
composed vegetable substance.
On November 12, 1912, H. E. Grant, as proprietor of the Indiana 
Tomato Seed Co., Nabb, Ind., claimant, having consented to a 
decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it 
was further ordered that the product should be destroyed by the 
United States marshal, and that said claimant should pay all the 
costs of the proceedings.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
