This product contained excessive mold.
On November 22, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois filed a libel against 69 cases of puree "of tomatoes at Chicago, Ill., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
October 11, 1939, by Clamme Canning Co. from Hartford City, Ind.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
decomposed substance. It was labeled in part: "Richelieu Brand Puree of 
Tomatoes Distributed by Sprague, Warner & Company Chicago, Ill."
On January 8, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
