This salmon 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 60 cases of 
canned salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that it had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about August 10, 1936, by the Douglas Fisheries Co., from 
Douglas, 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 January 23, 1937, the Douglas Fisheries Co., having appeared as claimant 
and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be released under bond conditioned 
that it should not be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary to the Federal Food 
and Drugs Act.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
