This case involved shipments of cans of salmon that was in part decomposed.
On April 15, 1936, the United States attorney for the third division of the Dis- 
trict of Alaska, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against the Alaska Icepak Corporation, Cor. 
dova, Alaska, alleging that on or about June 8, June 17, and July 6, 1935, the 
defendant had shipped from Alaska into the State of Washington a number of 
unlabeled cans of salmon, and that the article was adulterated in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of 
decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On June 23, 1936, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
