This product contained worm and insect fragments.
On May 19, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New 
York filed a libel against 50 cases of tomato paste at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 28, 
1941, by the HoUister Canning Co., HoUister, Calif., from Oakland, Calif.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy substance. The article was labeled in part: (Cans) "San Benito Brand 
Naples Style Tomato Paste with Sweet Basil."
On August 13, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
