On November 2, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Virginia filed libels against 108 boxes of scrod at Norfolk, Va., and 174 
boxes at Portsmouth, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about September 26, 1940, by the Bay Fish Co. from 
Boston, Mass.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in 
whole or in part of a decomposed substance. It was labeled in part: "Pro- 
duced By Gloucester Fresh Fish Co.    *    *    *    Northeast Scrod Filletts."
Oh November 25, 1940, the Bay Fish Co., claimant, having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libels and the cases having been consolidated, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered released under bond 
conditioned that it be made to conform to the law under the supervision of the 
Food and Drug Administration.
