29632. Adulteration of canned  salmon.     U.  S. v.  31  Cases of  Canned  Salmon.
Consent decree of condemnation.    Product released under bond.     (F. &
D. No. 43785.   Sample Nos. 36047-D, 36049-D.)
This product was in part decomposed.
On September 8, 1938, 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 31 cases of 
canned salmon at San Francisco, Calif.; alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 23, 1938, by the Red Salmon 
Canning Co., Ugashik, Alaska; and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On October 18, 1938, the Red Salmon Canning Co. having appeared as 
claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
released under bond conditioned that it should not be disposed of in violation 
of the law.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
