This product was in part decomposed.
On September 24, 1936, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against the Premier Salmon Co., a corporation 
having a place of business at Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said company 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act on or about July 28, 1935, from Stevens 
Creek, Alaska, into the State of Washington of a quantity of canned salmon 
that was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
decomposed animal substance.
On August 10, 1937, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
