22098. Adulteration of  dry-pack  shrimp.     U.   S.  v.   500   Cartons  of  Dry-
Pack     Shrimp.     Decree     of     condemnation.      Product     released 
under bond.    (F. & D. no. 31215.    Sample no. 46864-A.)
This case involved a shipment of dry-pack shrimp which was found to be 
in part decomposed.
On October 5, 1933, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 500 cartons of 
dry-pack shrimp at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 19, 1933, by Robinson 
Canning Co., from New Orleans, La., and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On March 8, 1934, the Robinson Canning Co., Inc., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel and having executed a good and sufficient bond to 
insure compliance with the orders of the court, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the 
claimant for separation and destruction of the decomposed portion.
M. L. WELSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
