This product was in part decomposed.
On March 26, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 253 cases of salmon 
at Alameda, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Alaska 
Packers Association from Bristol Bay, Alaska, arriving at Alameda on or about 
August 22, 1936, 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 April 8, 1937, the Alaska Packers Association, having appeared as claimant, 
judgment of condemnation was entered ordering that the product be released to 
claimant under bond conditioned that it should not be disposed of in violation 
of the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
