Consent decree of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond.
(F. & D. no. 38299.    Sample no. 10915-C.)
This case involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On September 14, 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 3,821 cases of canned 
salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about August 23, 1936, by North Pacific Sea Foods Co., 
from Dayville, 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 September 17, 1936, the North Pacific Sea Foods Co. having appeared as 
claimant and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be released under bond 
conditioned that it should not be disposed of in violation of the Federal Food 
and Drugs Act.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
