1504. Adulteration of tomato juice. U. S. v. 195 Cases of Tomato Juice.     Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 3050.    Sample No. 
26105-B.)
This product contained mold, indicating the presence of decomposed material.
On September 20, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon 
filed a libel against 195 cases of tomato juice at Medford, Oreg., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 14, 1939, 
by the Royal Canning Corporation from Ogden, Utah; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed sub- 
stance. The article was labeled in part: (Cans) "Royal Club Fancy Tomato 
Juice.    *    *    *    Packed for Mason Ehrman & Co., Portland Oregon."
On May 12, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
