14350. Adulteration of canned salmon. U. S. v. 2,000 Cases of Salmon. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product re- leased under bond. (F. & D. No. 18925. I. S. Nos. 7760-v, 7765-v. S. No. W-1559.) On August 22, 1924, the United States attorney for the Western District of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 2,000 cases of salmon, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Alaska Consolidated Canneries, from Rose Inlet, Alaska, July 22, 1924, and transported from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Surf Brand Choice Alaska Pink Salmon * * * Packed in Alaska By Alaska-Pacific Fisheries Seattle, Wash, U. S. A." Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed and putrid animal substance. On May 14, 1926, the Alaska Consolidated Canneries, Seattle, Wash., claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment 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 $5,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that it be sorted under the supervision of this department and the bad portion destroyed.
