26235. Adulteration of frozen shrimp.     U. S. v. 520 Bags and 383 Bags of Frozen
Shrimp. Consent decree of condemnation. Product released under 
bond for segregation and destruction of unfit portions.     (F. & D. no.
37660.    Sample no. 61811-B.)
This case involved frozen shrimp that was in part decomposed.
On April 27, 1936, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one lot of 903 bags 
of frozen shrimp at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 8 and August 6, 1935, by the 
Independent Fish Co., from Mayport, Fla., 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 1, 1936, J. J. Hanson, Inc., claimant, having admitted the allegations 
of the libel, and having consented to a decree, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be released under bond, conditioned 
that the unfit portion be segregated and destroyed.
