27433. Adulteration of canned salmon.    U.  S.  v. 34 Cases of Canned Salmon.
Decree of condemnation. Product released under bond for segregation 
and destruction of decomposed portion. (F. & D. no. 39325. Sample no. 
34542-C.)
This canned salmon was in part decomposed.
On April 3, 1937, the United States attorney for the Middle District of Ala- 
bama, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 34 cases of canned salmon 
at Montgomery, Ala., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about February 12, 1937, by the Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., from 
Bellingham, Wash., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: (Cans) "Pennant Brand Alaska 
Red Scckeye Salmon   Packed by Northwestern Fisheries Co. Seattle."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
decomposed animal substance.
On June 25, 1937, the Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., having appeared as 
claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the 
product be released under bond for segregation and destruction of the decom- 
posed portion and relabeling of the good portion as "Reprocessed."
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
