26673. Adulteration of canned salmon.    IT.  S. v.  Hood Bay Canning Co.    Plea
of guilty.    Fine, $150 and costs.    (F. & D. no. 37981.   Sample no. 66842-B.)
This case involved a shipment of canned salmon which was in part de- 
composed.
On November 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 an information against the Hood Bay Canning Co., a corporation, 
Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act on or about August 19, 1935, from the Territory of Alaska 
into the State of Washington, of a quantity of canned salmon that was 
adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On December 7, 1936, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $150 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
