ditioned that decomposed portion be destroyed or denatured.     (F. & D.
no. 35321.    Sample no. 21668-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of frozen shrimp which was in 
part decomposed.
On March 14, 1935, the United States attorney for the Southern 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 three hundred and 
fifty 10-pound blocks of frozen shrimp at New York, N. Y., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about February 23, 
1935, by John Santos, from St. Augustine, Fla., and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted .wholly or 
in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On March 22, 1935, the Galilee Fish Co., Inc., New York, N. Y., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the 
entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered 
that the product be released under bond, conditioned that the decomposed 
portion be destroyed or denatured.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
