(F. & D. no. 36244. Sample nos. 38040-B, 38046-B, 38051-B.) This case involved an interstate shipment of canned salmon which was found to be in part decomposed. On August 29, 1935, the United States attorney for the Western District of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 3,503 cans of canned salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 1, 1935, by Wrangell Packing Co., from Wrangell, Alaska, and that it was adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed animal substance. On September 17,1935, the Wrangell Packing Co. having appeared as claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered that the product be released under bond conditioned that the product be recondi- tioned under the supervision of this Department to conform to the Food and Drugs Act. W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
