80673. Adulteration of grayling: trout.    J. S. v. 2 Boxes and 14 Boxes of Grayling
Trout.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. Nos
45214, 45215.   Sample No. 48312-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold 
and in the original packages. At the time of examination it was found to be 
in part decomposed.
On April 19, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
two libels praying seizure and condemnation of 16 boxes of grayling trout at 
Minneapolis, Minn.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
February 6, 1939, from Seattle, Wash., by the Washington Fish & Oyster Co.; 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On June 15, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation 
were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
