25748. Adulteration of canned salmon. IT. S. v. 89 Cases of Canned Salmon. 
Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 36876. 
Sample nos. 54599-B, 64945-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of canned salmon that was in part 
decomposed.
On or about December 26. 1935, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 89 cases 
of unlabeled pink salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article was shipped 
on or about June 29, 1935, by the Glacier Sea Foods Co., from Cordova, Alaska, 
and charging 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 whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On June 10, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
