This case involved a shipment of canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On May 8, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho, acting 
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel 
praying seizure and condemnation of 47 cases of canned salmon at Idaho Falls, 
Idaho, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about February 18, 1936, by the Rogers Co., from Seattle, Wash., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act
The article was labeled in part: "Show Boat Brand Fancy Alaska Pink 
Salmon."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On June 13, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of forfeiture was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
