This canned salmon was in part decomposed.
On October 23, 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 2,858 cases of canned 
salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, on or about September 16, 1935, by the Superior Packing Co., from 
Tenakee, Alaska, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
Adulteration of the article was charged under the allegation that it consisted 
in whole or in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On October 28, 1935, the Superior Packing Co., claimant, having admitted the 
material 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 separated there- 
from and destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
