2472. Adulteration of tomato puree.   IT. S. v. 15 Cases of Tomato Puree.   Default-
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 5163. Sample 
No. 5373-E.)
On July 16, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Ken- 
tucky filed a libel against 15 cases, each containing 72 cans, of tomato puree 
at Harlan, Ky., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about August 6, 1940, and June 5, 1941, by the 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: 
"Columbus Tomato Puree   *    *   *   Net Weight 6 Oz."
On August 12, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
