On April 27, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Hawaii 
filed a libel against 51 cases of canned tomato paste at Honolulu, T. H., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
March 25, 1940, by Theo. H. Davies & Co., Ltd., from San Francisco, Calif.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it contained mold and was in 
whole or in part filthy, putrid, and decomposed and otherwise unfit for food. 
The article was labeled in part: (Cans) "Flotta Brand Pure Tomato Paste 
: *    * . *    Packed by Flotill Products Inc. Stockton, Calif."
