decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 39551. Sample 
No. 41472-C.)
This product was in whole or in part decomposed.
On April 30, 1937, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 250 cases of whiting 
at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about February 26, 1937, from Boston, Mass., by the American 
Fish Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On June 23, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
