26950. Adulteration of canned salmon.    U. S. v. 7,165 Cases of Canned Salmon.
Decree of condemnation in part. Portion of product exonerated; 
remainder ordered released under bond. (F. & D. no. 38527. Sample 
nos. 11059-C, 22309-C.)
This product was in part decomposed.
On November 9, 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 7,165 cases of 
canned salmon at Bellingham, Wash., alleging that the product had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 20, June 25, and August 3, 
1936, by Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., from King Cove, 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 March 16, 1937, Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., having appeared as 
claimant, a decree of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that a 
portion of said product be exonerated and that the remainder be released under 
bond conditioned that it should not be disposed of in violation of the Federal 
Food and Drugs Act.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
