On December 19, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Minne- 
sota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 612 bottles of tomato catsup 
at St. Paul, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about September 25 and October 1, 1936, by the American 
Packing Corporation from Evansville, Ind., and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act. It was labeled in part: "Foley's Tomato 
Catsup Packed for Foley Grocery Co., St. Paul, Minn."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On June 12, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered order- 
ing that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
