86064. Adulteration of canned salmon. V. S. v. 270 Cases of Canned Red Salmon. 
Consent decree of condemnation.    Product released under bond.    (F. &
D. no. S7592.    Sample nos. 65178-B, 66835-B.)
This case involved the shipment of canned red salmon that was in part 
decomposed.
On April 13, 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 270 cases of canned 
salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about July 6, 1935, by the Shepard Point Packing Co., 
from Cordova, 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 May 18, 1936, the Shepard Point Packing Co., having appeared as claim- 
ant 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 condi- 
tioned that it not be disposed of in violation of the Food and Drugs Act
