This case involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On November 10, 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 485 cartons 
of pink salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about August 12, 1936, by P. E. Harris 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 a decomposed animal substance.
On November 25, 1936, P. E. Harris & Co., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was 
ordered that the product be released under bond subject to compliance with 
the provisions of the Food and Drugs Act.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
