ADULTERATION OF TOMATO PULP.
On December 23,1910, the United States Attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 24 cases, each 
containing 48 cans of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages and in possession of the Myers Grocery Co., 
Jacksonville, Fla., alleging that the product had been shipped from 
the State of Maryland into the State of Florida, and charging adul- 
teration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product was 
labeled: (On cases) "4 doz. No. 1 cans Conqueror Brand Tomato 
Pulp has. G. Summers & Co., Inc., Baltimore, Md." (On cans) 
" Conqueror Brand Tomato Pulp. Chase. G. Summers & Co. Inc. 
Baltimore, Md."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it contained mold filaments and yeast fungi to the extent that 
it was filthy and decomposed.
On April 4, 1913, no claimant having appeared for the property, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was 
ordered that the product should be sold or destroyed by the United 
States marshal.
