6680. Adulteration of canned salmon. V. S. * * * v. 730 Cases of Cable?
Brand Canned Salmon. Default decree of condemnation, forfei??
ture, and sale.    (F. & P. No, 8958.    S. No. C-869.)
On April 17, 1918, the United States attorney for the Middle District of?
Tennessee, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 730 cases, each containing 4 dozen cans of salmon, remain??
ing unsold in the original unbroken packages at Nashville, Tenn., alleging?
that the article had been shipped on or about November 20, 1917, by F. G.?
Barnes Co., Portland, Oreg., and transported from the State of Oregon into?
the State of Tennessee, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act. The article was labeled, in part, "Cable Brand * * *?
Fancy Pink Alaska Salmon."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On February 22, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be sold by the United States marshal, the pur??
chaser or purchasers thereof to execute a bond in the sum of $500, con??
ditioned that the 511 cases should not be sold, disposed of, or used as food for?
human consumption.
C. F. MAEVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
