S80G. Adulteration of canned salmon, TJ. S. * * * v. 1,121 Cases of?
Canned Salmon. Default decree of condemnation, forfeitux-e, and?
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 1245G.    I. S. No. 381-r.    S. No. E-2147.)
On May 17, 1920, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New?
York, 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 condemna??
tion of 1,121 cases, each case containing 48 cans, of canned salmon, remaining?
unsold in the original unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the?
article had been shipped on or about May 7, 1919, and transported from the?
District of Columbia into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in?
?\iolation of the Food and Drugs Act.    The article was labeled in part, "Hall's
274	
BUREAU   OF   CHEMISTRY.	
[Supplement 108,
Par-Valu Brand Red   Alaska  Salmon    *    *    *   1 Lb.  Net Weight   *    *    *?
Hall's Tied Alaska    *    *    *."'
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On July 23, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that?
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
