12784. Adulteration of canned salmon. U. S. v. 50 Cases of Salmon. Con- 
sent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released 
under bond.     (F. & D. No. 17896.    I. S. No. 12510-v.    S. No. E-4561.)
On November 5, 1923, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Supreme 
Court of the District of Columbia, holding a district court, a libel praying the 
seizure and condemnation of 50 cases, each containing 4 dozen cans of salmon, 
at Washington, D. C., alleging that the article was being offered for sale and 
sold in the District of Columbia, and charging adulteration in violation of the 
food and drugs act.   The article was labeled in part:   (Can)   "Rose Brand
*   *    *    Contents  One  Pound  Chum  Distributed  By  Carlisle  Packing  Co. 
Seattle, Wash., U. S. A."
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 October 20, 1924, the Carlisle Packing Co., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of the 
costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $250, in 
conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the good portion 
be separated from the bad portion under the supervision oi this department, and 
the bad portion destroyed.
