This product contained filth resulting from worm infestation.  
On September 6, 1935, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 750 cases of tomato paste at 
Cleveland, Ohio, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about July 19, 1935, from the Harbor City Food Corporation, 
Harbor City, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The article was labeled in part: "Campagnola Brand Tomato Paste * * * 
Packed by Harbor City Food Corporation [or "Harbor City Canning Co"] Los 
Angeles Calif."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of worm 
debris.
On January 19, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
