On November 2, 1918, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 1,650 cases, each containing 6 cans of tomato catsup, con??
signed on or about September 27, 1918, remaining unsold in the original un??
broken packages at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped?
by the W. H. Dyer Co., Evansville, Inch, and transported from the State of?
Indiana into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of?
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, " W. H. Dyer's Own?
Pack Brand Tomato Catsup."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On May 23, 1919, the said W. II. Dyer Co., claimant, having consented to a?
decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was or??
dered by the court that the product should be delivered to said claimant upon?
the payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the?
sum of $2,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
C. F. MABVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
