Plea of guilty.    Fine, $200.     (F. & D. no. 37012.    Samp"* nos.  13201-B. 
13203-B, 26744-B, 26746-B.)
This case involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed. 
On June 2, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
Minn., alleging that it had been shipped .in interstate commerce on or about 
February 27, 1936, by Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., from South Bellingham, 
Wash., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. A 
portion of the article was labeled: (Can) "Table Talk Alaska Red Soekeye 
Salmon   *   *   *   Packed For Rust Parker Co. Duluth, Minn."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a decomposed animal substance.
On December 3, 1936, Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., having appeared as 
claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be released under 
bond subject to segregation and destruction of the decomposed portion and 
recooking and resealing the remainder and relabeling it "Reprocessed."
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
