This product was found to be in whole or in part decomposed.
On February 1, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 49 cases of canned 
shrimp at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about October 1, 1937, from Risor, Norway, by Olav Flekke; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part:  "A-La-Carte Brand Choicest Norwegian Cocktail  Shrimps."
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted in whole or in part 
of a decomposed animal substance.
On March 6, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
