24462. Adulteration of concentrated strained tomatoes.    U. S. v. 208 Cases of
Concentrated Strained Tomatoes.    Default decree of condemnation and 
destruction.     (F. & D. no. 35205.    Sample no. 24269-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of concentrated strained tomatoes 
that contained excessive mold.
On February 28, 1935, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 208 cases of 
concentrated strained tomatoes at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 13 and October 
3, 1934, by W. H. Neal & Sons, Inc., from Hurlock, Md., and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: 
"Sun-Lite Concentrated Strained Tomatoes."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On March 28, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
