These cases involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On April 10 and April 13, 1936, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Washington, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 813 
cases of canned salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 27,1935, by Pioneer Canneries, 
Inc., 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 June 11, and June 13, 1936, the Pioneer Canneries, Inc., having appeared 
as claimant and having consented to the entry of decrees, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and it was ordered that the product be released under 
bond, conditioned that it should not be disposed of contrary to the provisions 
of the Food and Drugs Act.
