23865. Adulteration of canned salmon. IT. S. v. Alaska Year Round Can- 
neries Co. Plea of guilty. Fine, S300 and costs. (F. & D. no. 32113. 
Sample nos. 55278-A, 55279-A, 55287-A, 55288-A.)
This case was based on shipments of canned salmon, samples of which were 
found to be tainted or stale.
On June 25, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Alaska Year Round Canneries Co., 
a corporation, Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said company in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about July 15 and July 23, 1933, from Sel- 
dovia, Alaska, into the State of Washington, of quantities of canned salmon 
which was adulterated. The article was labeled in part: (Cases) "Alaska 
Brand Salmon Red AYR Co."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole and 
in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On November 12, 1934, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defend- 
ant company, and the court imposed a fine of $300 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
