21842. Misbranding of canned salmon. U. S. v. 194 Cases of Canned Salmon. Consent decree of condemnation. Product released under bond to be relabeled. (F. & D. no. 30815. Sample no. 34650-A) This case involved a shipment of a product labeled to convey the impression that it was fancy red salmon, but which consisted of cohoe salmon, a lower grade than red salmon. On August 3, 1933, the United States attorney for the Western District of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 194 cases of canned salmon at Buffalo, N.Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 10, 1933, by Modern & McGovern, from Astoria, Oreg., and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Blossom Time Brand Salmon Natural Red Color Fancy Cutlet * * * Distributed by Modern & McGovern." It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the state- ment on the label, " Naural Red Color Cutlet Salmon ", was false and mis- leading and deceived and misled the purchaser, since it created the impression that the article was red salmon rather than the lower grade cohoe salmon. On November 13, 1933, McGovern & McGovern having appeared as claimant for the property and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the claimant upon payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $2,000, conditioned that it be relabeled under the supervision of this Department. M. Iť. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
