This shrimp was in whole or in part decomposed.
On December 10, 1936, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four boxes of
frozen shrimp at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that it had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about September 2, 1936, by R. R. Barbour, Inc., from 
Morehead City, N. C, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted of a decomposed 
animal substance.
On January 12, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
