This product was in part decomposed.
On June 3, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Cali- 
fornia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against the Red Salmon Canning Co., a corporation, San 
Francisco, Calif., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act, on or about August 12, 1936, from Naknek, Alaska, to San Fran- 
cisco, Calif., of a quantity of canned salmon which was adulterated. Certain lots 
were labeled:   (Cans)   "Deep Sea Red Alaska Sockeye Red Salmon   *   *   *
Packed by Red Salmon Canning Co. * * * Main Office San Francisco, Cali- 
fornia" ; or "Army and Navy Brand Red Alaska Sockeye Salmon * * * Packed 
by Naknek Packing Co. at Bristol Bay, Alaska." The remaining lots were labeled: 
(Cases) "Lucille Brand Salmon Red Salmon Canning Co."; or "Deep Sea Red 
Salmon Packed by Red Salmon Canning Co."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On June 19, 1937, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant and 
the court imposed a fine of $150,
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
