26016. Adulteration of canned salmon.     TT.  S. v. 48 Cases of Salmon.     Default
decrees  of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no.  37344.    Sample 
nos. 65106-B, 65134-B.)
This case involved a shipment of canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On March 10, 1936, 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 48 cases of coho 
salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about August 26, 1935, by the Ocean Packing Co., from 
Klawock, Alaska, and charging adulteration 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 article be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
