643. Adulteration of tomato puree.    U. S. v. 48 Cases and 149 Cases of Tomato
Puree.    Default decrees of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. Nos. 
1781, 1848.    Sample Nos. 13119-E, 13121-E.)
On or about April 12 and 23, 1940, the United States attorney for the 
Eastern District of Washington filed libels against 48 cases and 149 cases, 
respectively, of tomato puree at Spokane, Wash., alleging that the article had 
been shipped in interstate commerce from Ogden, Utah, in part on or about 
October 10 and November 28, 1939, by the Royal Canning Corporation, and in 
part on or about January 26, 1940, by H. D. Olson; and charging that it was 
adulterated. The product was labeled in part: "Little Boy Blue Brand 
Puree * * * Royal Canning Corp., Ogden, Utah"; and "Falls Brand Whole 
Tomato Puree.   Packed for Roundup Grocery Company, Spokane, Washington."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
decomposed substance.
On June 1, 1940, no claimant having appeared, decrees of condemnation were 
entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
