of guilty.    Fine, $100.    (F. & D. no. 36996.    Sample no. 35195-B, 43465-B.)
This case involved interstate shipment of tomato catsup that consisted in 
part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On April 6, 1936, the United States attorney for the Western District of New 
York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against the Red Wing Co., Inc., Fredonia, N. Y., alleging 
that on or about June 29, 1935, the defendant had shipped from the State of 
New York into the State of Ohio a number of bottles of tomato catsup, and 
that the article was adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
article was labeled in part: "Dot 'Dot's Good' * * * Tomato Catsup, Dis- 
tributed by The Janszen Company, Cincinnati, Ohio."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
decomposed vegetable substance.
On July 13, 1936, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $100.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
