This product was in part decomposed.
On June 10, 1937, 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 Alaska Red Salmon Packers, Inc., Seattle, 
Wash., alleging shipment by the defendant on or about August 4, 8, and 19, 
1936, from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington; and on or 
about September 30, 1936, from the State of Washington into the State of 
South Carolina of quantities of canned salmon which was adulterated in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act. One shipment was labeled in part: "Northern 
Waters Brand Alaska Pink Salmon * * * Distributed by North Coast 
Fisheries Co., Seattle, U. S. A."    The remaining shipments bore no label.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole and 
in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On November 20, 1937, a plea of guilty was entered in behalf of the de- 
fendant and it was sentenced to pay a fine of $53 and costs.
HAKEY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
