This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and was in inter- 
state commerce at the time of examination, at which time it was found to be 
in whole or in part decomposed.
On November 13, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona 
filed a libel against 20 cases of canned pumpkin at Nogales, Ariz., alleging that 
it had been shipped on or about March 18, 1935, by Morgan Packing Co. from 
Austin, Ind.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly 
or in part of a decomposed substance. The article was labeled in part: "Scott 
Co. Brand Pumpkin."
On February 5, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
