26452. Adulteration of canned salmon.    U. S. v. 6,207 Cartons and 8,614 Cartons
of Salmon. Consent decree of condemnation. Product ordered re- 
leased under bond. (F. & D. no. 88310. Sample nos. 11086-C. 11087-C, 
22005-C, 22006-C.)
This case involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On September 16, 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 9,821 cartons of 
salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about August 12, 1936, by the Alaska Southern Packing 
Co., from False Pass, 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 decomposed animal substance.
On November 5, 1936, the Alaska Southern Packing Oo., having appeared as
claimant, consent decree of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that
the product be released under bond, subject to compliance with the requirements
of law.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
