decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F.  & D.  No. 44429.    Sample 
No. 39761.)
This product was in whole or in part decomposed.
On November 28, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 24% cases of canned 
shrimp at Seattle, Wash.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about October 7, 1938, by the J. H. Pelham Co. from 
Pascagoula, Miss.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.   The article was labeled in part: "Sea-Fresh Brand Shrimp."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
decomposed animal substance.
On January 24, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
