Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D.  No. 41906. 
Sample No. 16130-D.)
This product was in whole or in part decomposed.
On March 9, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 73 cases of canned 
shrimp at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been delivered on
or about February 24, 1938, by the Adler Export Co., and was intended for 
export to a foreign country, Trinidad, and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Barataria Brand 
Shrimp Packed for Export Only * * * Packed for The Adler Export Co., 
New Orleans, La."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a decomposed animal substance.
On April 20, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
